Make Informed Decisions for Your Property
Our wastewater management reports are tailored to suit a wide range of sites—from compact residential blocks to sprawling rural properties. The process starts with a site visit where we assess everything from slope and soil to vegetation and land usage. Using non-intrusive equipment like our trailer-mounted drilling rig, we conduct soil sampling and analysis without tearing up your land. From there, we produce a detailed report that outlines the most appropriate systems for your needs, including septic tanks, AWTS, reedbed systems, worm farm treatment, dry composting toilets and greywater solutions. We also take into account factors like budget, lifestyle and property goals.
The end result? You get a clear understanding of your options without being pushed into a one-size-fits-all system. Our advice helps you meet local council requirements while also improving the usability, value and sustainability of your property. Whether you’re preparing for DA submission or just exploring your options, our reports put you in the driver’s seat.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an on-site wastewater management report and why do I need one?
An on-site wastewater management report is a comprehensive assessment used to determine the most suitable method of treating and disposing of household wastewater on your property. It's often required for development applications or renovations where sewer connections aren’t available. The report takes into account your land’s slope, soil type, climate, proximity to water sources and property layout. It ensures that any wastewater treatment system installed will operate safely, efficiently and in compliance with council and environmental guidelines.
How do I know which wastewater system is right for my property?
The right system depends on several factors, including your property's size, soil permeability, usage demands and environmental sensitivity. Systems like AWTS, septic tanks, reedbeds and worm farms each have specific pros and cons. A professional wastewater report identifies your options and outlines the best choices based on performance, cost and sustainability. It's important not to guess—choosing the wrong system can lead to poor performance or costly compliance issues down the track.
Is a wastewater report required for council approval?
Yes, in most cases. When you're building on a property that isn’t connected to a central sewer, your local council will require an on-site wastewater management report as part of your development application. This ensures that your system won’t negatively affect neighbouring properties, groundwater or the environment. The report must meet the specific guidelines of the local government area and often needs to be prepared by a qualified and experienced consultant.
