Program Overview

FILTEC is proud to announce its successful appointment as a delivery partner under Coliban Water’s prestigious Treatment Plant Upgrade Program. This multi-year framework agreement spans the 2024–2028 regulatory pricing period, with options to extend through to 2034, marking a significant milestone in FILTEC’s growth journey and reinforcing its deep commitment to Victoria’s water sector.

The program will see FILTEC engaged in the design, construction, and renewal of both water and wastewater treatment infrastructure across Central and Northern Victoria.

Shared Vision

“Winning a place on this landmark program is a tremendous endorsement of FILTEC’s capabilities, culture and commitment to innovation,” said Matthew Ewen, Managing Director of the FILTEC Group. “We are honoured to be entrusted by Coliban Water to help deliver these essential infrastructure upgrades that will improve water quality, sustainability, and community outcomes across the region.”
