This year's Stampede event was literally flushed with success thanks to a wastewater project installed and tested by CQUniversity students and graduates at the Woodfordia site (north of Brisbane).

The sewerage system coordinated by CQUniversity researcher Ben Kele has also been used for Splendour in the Grass and the Woodford Folk Festival.

Mr Kele said the treatment plant performed very well and there were no problems with the wastewater treatment or the potable water treatment.

Mr Kele and his student helpers spent months preparing the $1.2 million 11-stage multi-barrier sewerage system, which was launched at Woodfordia by the then Deputy Premier Paul Lucas in December 2009.

The Kele team also helped install 800m of new sewerage pipes and a new $80,000 treatment system to remove tannin colour from the drinking water.
