On-Site Sewage Management

Great Lakes Council currently has over 3800 on-site sewage management systems registered in the Local Government area. Many of these systems are concentrated in the waterside villages of Coomba Park, Seal Rocks, Nerong, North Arm Cove, Pindimar, Bundabah and Allworth. Rural areas and inland villages of Wards River, Stroud Road, Booral, Limeburners Creek, Bunyah and Coolongolook also utilise on-site sewage management systems. Council has an ongoing inspection program in which each system will be assessed and advice given to ensure systems are working satisfactorily.

If you are connected to town sewer or water all enquiries should be directed to Midcoast Water
