A 33-kilometre (21 mi) underground pipeline will be built by the Georgiou Group from the plant. It will pass through Carabooda, Nowergup, Neerabup, Banksia Grove, Mariginiup and Jandabup before reaching the Wanneroo Reservoir. The pipeline will be largely below ground except for a small section crossing the Yanchep railway line near Alkimos station.^[4][5][6]
