Local knowledge
Plumbing in Dural, specifically
Dural is our nearest neighbour and it’s acreage country, which makes the plumbing genuinely different. Many properties here are not on mains sewer — they run septic systems or aerated wastewater treatment systems, and a fair number rely on tank water with pump-fed supply rather than mains pressure.
That changes the call-outs. Instead of blocked sewer we’re looking at failing absorption trenches, pump failures and pressure problems. A house running on a pressure pump behaves nothing like a house on mains, and diagnosing low flow means checking the pump, the pressure vessel and the tank draw before touching a tap.
Long service runs are the other Dural characteristic. Supply lines running a hundred metres or more from the boundary to the house are common, which means a leak can be a long way from anything visible — proper leak detection saves an enormous amount of digging here.
What we see most in Dural
- Septic and aerated wastewater system faults
- Pressure pump and tank water supply problems
- Long buried supply runs making leaks hard to locate
- No mains sewer — different rules for drainage work
Approvals
Two councils meet at Dural
Dural straddles the boundary between The Hills Shire and Hornsby Shire, so which one you deal with depends on which side of it your address sits. We check before anything is lodged rather than after.
What your council decides, wherever you are
- Approval to install and to operate an on-site wastewater system, under s.68 of the Local Government Act 1993
- Where stormwater is allowed to discharge — kerb, absorption trench or easement — under the council's development control plan
- Consent to remove or prune a tree, including the one whose roots are in your sewer line
The Hills Shire Council, specifically
- On-site wastewater approvals for the acreage belt — Kenthurst, Annangrove, Glenhaven and the rural end of Dural
- Stormwater and absorption requirements on the newer estates, where lot sizes are small and the ground is often reactive clay
- Tree preservation across the shire's older, heavily planted streets
The shire covers both the densest new estates in Sydney and genuine acreage, and the requirements at the two ends have almost nothing in common. Which one you are in decides the job.
Hornsby Shire Council, specifically
- On-site wastewater approvals across the unsewered rural north — Arcadia, Galston and the acreage around them
- Stormwater discharge on steep and bushfire-prone blocks, where absorption is often restricted
- Tree and bushland controls, which are extensive and matter on almost every excavation near a boundary
More of this shire is bushland and steep block than people expect, and both of those change what a drainage repair is allowed to do with the water.
Anything built over or beside a Sydney Water sewer — a slab, a pool, an extension — is Sydney Water's approval rather than the council's, and it is the one that most often holds a job up. We tell you which of the two you need before you start chasing either.
