Supporting local communities through engagement and collaboration

The Mitchell Water Plant department is excited to unveil the stunning new artwork adorning their fleet, created by local Roma artist Lane Brookes of Deadly Way. This vibrant artwork is one of three pieces commissioned by Mitchell Water, reflecting our commitment to supporting local talent and celebrating cultural expression.

Lane Brookes’ designs beautifully capture the essence of the region, and we are proud to showcase his work on our vehicles. The artwork not only enhances the appearance of our fleet but also reinforces our connection to the communities we serve.

This collaboration with a local artist is a testament to our dedication to promoting and preserving the unique cultural heritage of our area. We look forward to sharing these beautiful designs with the broader community as our fleet travels across the region.

Mitchell Water is proud to have recently sponsored the Tara Festival of Culture and Camel Races, a vibrant event that has been a highlight in the region since 2001. This 3-day biennial festival celebrates the rich cultural diversity of the community, bringing together locals and visitors alike for a memorable experience.

During the festival, Mitchell Water’s Project HSSE Manager, Sarah, and Project Administrator, Jess, had the honor of presenting the trophy to the winning rider and camel. It was a fantastic opportunity to support a unique event that showcases the spirit and diversity of the region.

We are delighted to be part of such an important cultural event and look forward to supporting the Tara Festival of Culture and Camel Races for years to come.

Mitchell Water Australia is extremely proud to announce the award of the contract by Grampians Wimmera Mallee Water (GWMWater) to deliver the East Grampians Rural Pipeline Project (EGRPP).

The EGRPP will cover 530,000 hectares and provide water and security to 1500 rural farming properties in the region, via a 600km pipeline and pump station network. It will provide a reliable water supply for both the rural towns and agricultural areas in the region.

  • Mitchell Water has a long-standing history within the region for GWMWater having delivered:
  • Wimmera Mallee Pipeline Project Supply Systems 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 7 (2006-2010);
  • Dimboola to Nhill Pipeline (2013);

  • South West Loddon Pipeline Project Schemes (2016, 2019-2020); and
  • Mallee Towns Drinking Water Pipeline Project (2017-2018)

 

Rob Shelton, CEO of Mitchell Water, welcomed the contract win, viewing it as another significant step to further demonstrate Mitchell’s capability.

“We’ve been building pipeline networks in this region for nearly 20 years. The East Grampians Rural Pipeline Project will bring tremendous social and economic opportunity to the region. Our team is looking forward to partnering with both the local community and businesses in the delivery of the project.”

Additionally, Envirotech Water Solutions (a Mitchell Water Company), has commenced works on the Lake Fyans Pump Station, which will feed the EGRPP network.

Surveying works on the EGRPP will start in August 2024 , with construction set to commence in October. As always, we will look to employ locally and source from local suppliers and subcontractors.

Fun fact:
Mitchell’s Senior Estimator Paul Tschappeller’s father Tony built the original Lake Fyan’s Pump Station way back in 1961 as an apprentice. Tony went on to build many more gas and water pipelines over the years and finished his career with Mitchell’s on the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline Project in 2010.
