Splendid meeting for Kele and Kele 

Published on 09 August, 2011 

CQUniversity wastewater specialist Ben Kele got the chance to meet namesake Kele Okereke of Bloc Party fame over the weekend, during the Splendour in the Grass festival at Woodfordia, north of Brisbane.

Ben was on site to oversee his bespoke wastewater system, as it coped with millions of litres of effluent from festival goers. Okereke was of course present to entertain the crowds and promote his latest album http://www.iamkele.com/ .

The past two Splendour in the Grass events have literally been flushed with success thanks to a wastewater project installed and tested by CQUniversity students and graduates.

The $1.2 million 11-stage multi-barrier sewerage system was launched at Woodfordia by Deputy Premier Paul Lucas in December 2009.
