Thank you for the swamp cypruss tip.
Can't let any excess surface or escape to drain and don't want clogging with roots so the wastewater drainage will need partial containment.

Many small blocks on unsewered towns are over developed with not enough space or funds for proper onsite wastewater management and containment. Sometime neighbours have constructed dams, bores or...

Hi Stubby,

There is no one design that fits all but here are a few pointers. I have some diagrams but want to try them myself first.

The greywater in the pumpwell will be digesting but the warm...

I guess now composing of music and programing of music can be done on line so what I was thinking is that between us we could put something together, write, compose etc. Most of us know other muso's...

Sometimes Local Councils have general information on Land Capability Assessments or Township Land Capability Assessments conducted in the area in nature strips that will provide an indication of the...

This is what we call surge loadings. Some people use 4 times as much water as others so it is important to build in storage capacity and enough absorption capacity for peak use and high rainfall...

All these things but also a lot more. A good Land Capability Assessment with start off with the general site uses and outlook desired by the owner then scientifically assess what the needs of the...

Thankyou Scott,

There are some locations where LCA's are not needed such as in consistant sand dunes where they are high enough above groundwater.

There is a real issue with quality of...

It might save you the cost of a high maintenance, high power consumption, high service cost, high component replacement cost, high analysis cost system that still needs desludging every three years...

I have been asking around and it sounds like Section 32 Statements can only have very limited things linked to them because failure to disclose can reverse the property transaction at great expense...
