Welcome
Dear valued clients and partners,
On behalf of the TRILITY Group, we wish you and your families a safe and
pleasant festive season. We also want to take this opportunity to thank
you for another successful year.
Throughout 2025, businesses across Australia and New Zealand
continued to face increased climate variability, including heavy rainfall
and flash floods that disrupted operations, services, and supply chains.
These events, such as the damaging Tropical Cyclone Alfred in March,
highlighted the rising risks from climate change, prompting businesses to
rethink risk management, infrastructure, and adaptation to more frequent
and severe events. Additionally, rising costs — such as inflation, wages,
and energy; labour shortages; digital transformation and AI adoption;
and increasing cyber threats — coupled with new legislative changes,
such as superannuation tax rules, and a shifting global trade environment
affecting supply chains, created significant challenges. Despite this,
TRILITY once again ends the year on a high with operational successes
and continued growth.
As the year draws to a close and we prepare for the New Year, we typically
wrap up the year’s activities, reflect, plan strategic initiatives for the year
ahead, and celebrate our successes. Our reflections showed another
year of excellent service delivery, growth, and valuable lessons. For
example, in 2025, TRILITY’s presence and partnerships have expanded and
strengthened across New Zealand. We secured a new training contract in
Cape York while establishing our preventative maintenance and servicing
presence in the Northern Territory.
In this edition of our year-end TRILITY e-newsletter, we explore what
makes TRILITY a partner of choice. We highlight some of the impressive
work our Modular Solutions team has been doing across the Tasman in
New Zealand. You get to meet our newest team of Services Technicians
as we expand our preventive maintenance and servicing footprint across
Australia and New Zealand. As we conclude two long-term contracts
in regional South Australia, we strengthen our presence through new
contracts and ongoing diversification elsewhere. We are also proud to
share some of the excellent work we are doing as we advance on specific
actions within the Innovate stage of our Reconciliation Action Plan.
This year’s success, like in previous years, is thanks to the dedication and
focus of our outstanding employees and the strong relationships we’ve
built with our clients and partners over time. TRILITY is where it is today
because of you, our clients and partners.
Our growth journey will continue through 2026, bringing exciting times.
Our learnings include better ways to work, communicate, and deliver
services. In the coming year, we look forward to more opportunities to
meet with our employees and clients face-to-face across New Zealand
and Australia.
On behalf of the entire TRILITY team, it’s been a privilege to work with
you and the communities we serve, and we look forward to working with
you again in 2026.

Innovative polymer dosing during clarifier breakdown
at the Rotorua Wastewater Treatment Plant
The plant encountered a significant challenge when one of the secondary
clarifiers failed, effectively doubling the load on the remaining clarifier from 10
ML/d to 20 ML/d. This resulted in a high sludge blanket depth, reduced settling
time, and sludge carryover into the treated wastewater, thereby risking
non-compliance with environmental regulations.
To address this, the team implemented a cost-effective and practical solution
using the existing facility. The solution involved a dosing polymer, which was
used in sludge dewatering into the bioreactor’s sludge before the secondary
clarifier.
TRILITY’s Water Quality team carried out an experiment to optimise the
polymer dose to 2 mg/L for effective sludge flocculation and settling in the
clarifier while reducing the impact on returned activated sludge.
The Rotorua Wastewater Treatment Plant has three belt presses available for
dewatering: two duty presses and one standby press. In collaboration with
the onsite team, a flexible dosing line was installed that could connect to
whichever belt press line was not in use at the time, stretching approximately
50 metres from the dewatering building to the bioreactor. This configuration
enabled the team to monitor and control polymer dosing via SCADA without
incurring any additional costs.
The results were very positive, with the single operational clarifier effectively
handling the increased load and maintaining consistent effluent quality. This
approach ensured compliance with regulations and demonstrated the team’s
resilience and flexibility. Additionally, this method proved successful
in managing treatment capacity during periods of high rainfall and
wet-weather flows.
Overall, the experience emphasised the significance of proactive
problem-solving and effective teamwork in ensuring the continuous
and efficient operation of wastewater treatment facilities.

Operating under extreme conditions during
the Townsville floods
In early February 2025, Townsville and surrounding areas in North Queensland
experienced severe flooding due to a persistent tropical low-pressure system.
This led to record rainfall, significantly impacting communities, infrastructure,
and the environment. In Townsville, 16 consecutive days of rain brought an
average of 1.2 metres of rainfall across the city—almost a full year’s worth
of rain in just over a month. The aftermath included widespread flooding,
landslides, extensive infrastructure damage, and the evacuation of about
4,000 residents.
Shortly after the initial floods, a second rain event swept through the area,
increasing its vulnerability and prompting more emergency alerts. During this
time, our TRILITY Operations teams in Townsville faced an unprecedented wet
weather event, which resulted in localised flooding and damage to critical
infrastructure at the Northern Water Treatment Plant (NWTP).
The Douglas Water Treatment Plant (DWTP) recorded record rainfall,
surpassing historical maximums for February and March. By the end of
April, total rainfall reached 2458.6 mm Year to Date (YTD), exceeding the
previous annual record of 2399.8 mm set in 2000. Similarly, the NWTP in
the Rollingstone region recorded 3652 mm YTD, surpassing its 2011 record of
3210.2 mm by over 440 mm.
Under such extreme conditions, the situation was intense, and our local team
had to re-evaluate their maintenance strategies to ensure water security while
prioritising staff safety and asset management. The DWTP took on the primary
responsibility of supplying approximately 200,000 people after the NWTP
experienced disruptions. Heavy rains prevented our operations team from
accessing a key pipeline at NWTP, raising concerns about a possible drainage
problem. The team later confirmed that a landslide had washed away essential
infrastructure, blocked access, and flooded the intake structure with sand and
debris.
As a result, our Operations team, in collaboration with our Water Quality team,
created a plan to transport water for necessary processing to place membranes
in preservation and with the aim of resuming raw water treatment by the end
of July 2025, which they succeeded in doing, and the plant returned to normal
operations on 24th July 2025.
Aside from systems and infrastructure, there is also the human impact. Morale
and mental strain are significant during weather challenges like this, which
is why TRILITY continually values its team’s commitment during such times.
Their teamwork and dedication genuinely reflect their passion for serving
communities and upholding TRILITY’s core values.

TRILITY further expands its New Zealand footprint
In May, TRILITY was awarded the water services facilities contract with Central Otago District
Council (CODC) on the South Island of New Zealand. The contract covers the operations,
maintenance, and management of asset renewal for 15 water and wastewater treatment plants,
as well as associated reservoirs, pump stations, and rising mains, on behalf of CODC.
This collaborative contract aims to manage the facilities to deliver services
to CODC’s customers safely and efficiently. In collaboration with the Council
and CODC’s other appointed contractors, TRILITY will manage the facilities’
compliance within the increasingly complex regulatory environment for
drinking water compliance and wastewater treatment.
Our team’s remit under this contract is to collaborate with the CODC
team to enhance asset and maintenance planning, ensuring the long-term
sustainability of assets and delivering value to CODC’s customers. This contract
will further strengthen the delivery of essential water services across Central
Otago and its communities.
This is a very exciting contract for TRILITY. We are excited to build
a relationship with a new client in a vibrant and beautiful region
of New Zealand at an important time in the evolution of water
services for the district. We are frontline operators at our core,
and by securing this contract, we not only broaden our footprint
within New Zealand; we also expand our operations expertise.
Francois Gouws
Managing Director
This contract is now fully operational, and our operational team is well
established. The contract has been in effect since 1 July 2025, and we have
already built a strong and collaborative partnership with the client and the

Working towards our Innovate RAP actions
Through our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan, we aim to build on existing
initiatives and embed new ones across our organisation. We strive to raise
our employees’ cultural awareness, improve engagement, strengthen our
relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and foster
new connections with First Nations businesses.
As part of our Innovate RAP opportunity objectives, we committed to
supporting equitable access to clean drinking water for Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander peoples through the education of their water treatment
operators. TRILITY Training Services is delivering training in Australia’s Cape
York region as part of the Safe and Healthy Drinking Water in Indigenous Local
Government Areas Project.
The “Safe and Healthy Drinking Water in Indigenous Local Government Areas
Project” is being undertaken by Queensland Health, Tropical Public Health
Services (Cairns), in partnership with the Torres Strait Island Regional Council
and other Cape York Indigenous Councils. It is designed to protect certain
Torres Strait Island communities from public health risks associated with
unsafe drinking water or inconsistent water supply.
TRILITY Training Services was recognised as a Registered Training Organisation
(RTO: 46056) capable of delivering a culturally appropriate learning framework
for Far North Queensland Indigenous water operators—one that aligns with
Indigenous values and preferred learning styles, such as storytelling, case
studies, and practical experiences, to enhance understanding. It involves
community connections, local knowledge, water management techniques,
and the involvement of Elders.
The approach focuses on breaking down complex processes into manageable
steps and applying them in real-world settings. Encouraging non-linear
learning allows flexibility in learning pathways to suit different experiences
and knowledge levels. Visual aids, such as maps, process flows, and diagrams,
support skill development, along with culturally relevant symbols and imagery.
Land-based learning through hands-on training on Country and non-verbal
methods offers observation and practical experience to supplement
verbal instruction.

On April 16, TRILITY received notification that Reconciliation Australia has officially accredited our Innovate
Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) 2025-2027 and formally recognised us as a member of the RAP network.
The TRILITY Training Services team has spent the past six months working with
and training a motivated group of learners from the Aurukun, Kowanyama,
Lockhart River, Mapoon, Napranum, and Pormpuraaw Aboriginal Shire Councils.
During this time, the learners experienced a balanced mix of theory, practical
exercises, and hands-on training.

The program has provided culturally inclusive, community-based, and
industry-relevant education to Indigenous water operators in Cape York, leading
to greater confidence and improved skills among the operators, as well as better
local water management and public health outcomes.
Additionally, to further promote our stunning RAP artwork, we are launching decals featuring it.
Warumungu/Yuggera artist David Booth created TRILITY’s RAP artwork, which powerfully represents
the deep and spiritual connection Aboriginal People have with land and water. Each decal highlights
different elements within the artwork, strengthening our commitment to reconciliation and respect
for First Nations cultures.

In November 2025, the digester membranes at the Upper South Creek AWRC
were installed – a significant milestone in bringing this world-leading facility
to life.
The specialised membrane seals to protect the digester from air, allowing
it to safely process sludge (the settled solids from primary and secondary
treatment). Inside, a natural process breaks down organic material into
simpler substances - converting waste into valuable resources for a more
sustainable future.
When completed in 2026, the AWRC will deliver sustainable wastewater
services and high-quality recycled water to support a growing population in
Western Sydney. Installation of digester membranes represents a significant
step towards delivering world-class wastewater recovery for Western Sydney.
It’s encouraging to see progress at the Upper South Creek AWRC, and TRILITY
is proud to partner with Sydney Water and John Holland on one of the most
advanced wastewater recycling facilities in the Southern Hemisphere.

Clean water for the Taupō District: a water
treatment plant upgrade project that prioritises
the community’s water supply
First, a brief overview of the project: TRILITY was awarded the contract to supply six Water Treatment Plants for the Taupō District Council.
The upgrades aimed to improve the water quality of the existing plants to meet the latest drinking water standards. The upgrades include UV
disinfection, pH correction through caustic dosing, and chlorine dosing.
The communities within the Taupō District are set to benefit from a significant leap forward in water quality, thanks to the recent upgrade of their
Water Treatment Plants. This overall project demonstrates a strong commitment to safe, reliable, and aesthetically appealing drinking water — in
line with the latest Drinking Water Standards, Quality Assurance Rules, and Aesthetic Values issued by Taumata Arowai in November 2022.
In this article, we showcase the Whareroa plant, which was the final site in a series of six upgrades led by TRILITY for the Taupō District Council.
What’s changed?
The upgrades have introduced improved water treatment processes that
enhance both the safety and clarity of the drinking water supply.
• Primary disinfection is now carried out using duty/standby UV reactors,
which effectively eliminate harmful microorganisms, including protozoa
• Secondary disinfection uses sodium hypochlorite, providing a chlorine
residual to maintain water quality as it travels through the network
• pH adjustment is achieved by dosing with sodium hydroxide (caustic soda)
— improving taste and helping protect the pipes
Together, these systems ensure every drop meets high standards for public
health, safety, and overall water experience.
Where it’s happening
Nestled in the stunning Whareroa Esplanade Reserve, the plant is situated just
200 metres from the boat ramp at Kowhai Flats — a popular spot for locals
enjoying Lake Taupō. From this lakeside location, water is sourced from the
underground aquifer using bore pumps and then treated to serve the needs of
the nearby village.
When demand peaks
The Whareroa plant serves a vibrant lakeside community, with usage peaking
in the mornings, evenings, and especially during the summer holidays, when
visitors come for fishing, water skiing, and festive gatherings. Despite these
varying demands, the upgraded facility is equipped to produce up to 475 cubic
metres of treated water daily — ensuring taps keep flowing when it
counts most.
Why it matters
The Whareroa upgrade provides reassurance to residents and visitors alike,
safeguarding health and enjoyment for future generations, similar to the
entire upgrade project across all six communities. Our client is pleased with
the outcome of this project and the water supplied to the communities it
serves, as stated by George Jackson, Senior Operator, Taupō District Council:
“The council is very happy with the quality of water that is being produced
from the plants.”
Clean, safe drinking water is a fundamental need—something the Taupō District Council protects through
innovative infrastructure projects like this one.

Service Technician
Overview of the work
Most of the team’s work occurs in very remote communities,
where they assist Power and Water Corporation in
maintaining chlorine gas water treatment plants. While most
communities use chlorine gas systems, smaller ones rely on
liquid chlorine dosing. Jack and Bruce always work together
as a team to ensure safety and support each other on-site.
Currently, they’re servicing six main communities, with plans
to expand further in the future.
Now that the team has been fully operational for a year, we
thought we’d ask Jack and Bruce a bit about what they do,
where they do it, and any highlights so far.
Highlights of the job
Jack Barlett
Enjoys the unique nature of the work itself and the travel,
whether it’s flying or 4WD’ing to the site, and seeing wildlife
and landscape along the way.
Bruce Blackburn
Enjoys seeing the outback from the sky, getting to know the
land from small planes, the incredible views of nature, and
the fantastic opportunities to see the changes in seasons.
What makes working in the Northern Territory unique
Jack Barlett
There are lots of unique things, like the wildlife – I recently saw
a buffalo walking down the street in one of the communities.
The remoteness of the worksites, surrounded by nature, makes
it very peaceful.
Bruce Blackburn
All aspects of the job are unique to Bruce, as he didn’t realise
this was how water was delivered to the communities. There
is significant responsibility that comes with the role to ensure
that these remote areas have access to safe, high-quality
drinking water.

TRILITY Relief Operators have delivered a strong
and successful year of performance
Success in 2025 for TRILITY Relief Operators
It’s been a big year for TRILITY’s Relief Operators, with
our operators supporting clients across Australia and
New Zealand through a wide range of operational
challenges. From short-term coverage to extended
secondments, our operators have continued to provide
safe, reliable and highly skilled support wherever
it’s needed.
One standout example was the recent deployment of a TRILITY Relief
Operator to Yulara, a remote township near Uluru and Kata Tjuta in the
Northern Territory.
To support Power and Water Corporation’s (Power and Water) local operations,
TRILITY provided an experienced water treatment operator for a series of
two-to-three-week rotations over a six-month period. With the site’s
operational team temporarily reduced, TRILITY’s support helped maintain
business continuity while permanent vacancies were being filled.
During the secondment, responsibilities included:
•
Monitoring and maintaining bore pumps and gas-powered generators
•
Conducting routine water quality testing and managing sludge at the
wastewater treatment plant
•
Operating and maintaining the Reverse Osmosis (RO) system for potable
water production
•
Performing routine and reactive maintenance across the site, including
effluent pump stations and distribution networks
•
On call and after-hours coverage
Our operator’s electrical background proved especially valuable, enabling him
to diagnose and provide repair recommendations for chlorine scales, bore
motors, emergency generators and online analysers. He also reviewed and
improved the formal calibration processes for chlorine analysers, strengthening
ongoing operational reliability.
Working in a remote environment presented unique challenges, from
equipment breakdowns to coordinating with the Power and Water team and
contractors across wide service areas. Through collaboration, adaptability and
a strong focus on safety, our operator played a key role in maintaining essential
services for the community.
As we look ahead to 2026, TRILITY remains committed to supporting clients
with flexible, skilled relief operator coverage wherever it’s needed.
