The Shire of Toodyay has delayed the commencement of the RESTRICTED BURNING PERIOD until 10 October 2022. Permits will be required for any burning occurring from and including this date.
More Information
All buildings that produce wastewater and are not connected to main sewers are required to connect to an on-site effluent disposal system.
A number of properties within the Toodyay townsite have main sewer connection available, to check if a property is connected or can be connected to mains sewer please contact the Water Corporation on 13 13 95.
In areas where main sewer is not available, an on-site effluent disposal system needs to be installed. There are a variety of systems available which range from conventional septic systems (tanks and leach drains), Aerobic Treatment Units (ATUs) and greywater re-use systems. Any system that is to be installed must be approved by the Department of Health WA. Please check the Department of Health WA link to http://ww2.health.wa.gov.au/Health-for/Industry-trade-and-business/Water website for a list of approved wastewater systems.
The Shire’s Environmental Health Officer is responsible for assessing and approving applications for on-site effluent disposal systems. A completed application form and associated fees must be submitted to the Shire, ensuring all required information is provided on a scale plan.
