This content is available exclusively to Lawyers Weekly premium members.
Deal: Global firm Ashurst has advised WaterNSW on the contract for the design and construction of the 55-kilometre Dungowan pipeline, a raw water under gravity pipeline from the Calala Lane Water Treatment plant to the Dungowan Dam. 

 
 

Value: $242 million. 

Area: Construction and infrastructure.

Key players: The team was led by partner Gareth Sage, who was assisted by counsel Ben Kipic, senior associate Charlotte Britton and lawyers Marya Atmeh and Lachlan Mack. 

Deal significance: The current Dungowan Dam has a capacity of 6.3 gigalitres and the project potentially involves the replacement of the current dam with a larger dam, increasing that capacity to 22 gigalitres. The pipeline will assist in securing the long-term water supply for Tamworth. 

Mr Sage commented: “We are delighted to have acted for WaterNSW on the Dungowan pipeline project, a significant investment infrastructure that will safeguard water security for Tamworth and neighbouring regional and rural areas.”
