Rainwater Tank Packs
Congratulations on thinking about installing a rainwater tank!
Water is one of our most precious natural resources and we need to conserve it as much as we can, particularly during periods of drought. Collecting rainwater from our roofs and using it in our garden and laundry helps save water that would otherwise go into our stormwater system – and literally down the drain!

Requirements for Installing Tanks
Before you install a tank, you need to check Council’s requirements. Some tanks cannot be installed until you have lodged a Development Application and get it approved by Council.
