Tank Installation for Bonnie Doon Lawn Irrigation

Published on 04 August 2023

Council has received positive community feedback from a recent online survey about a water tank installation to support the Bonnie Doon lawn irrigation system.

It is proposed to install a 27,400 litre water tank on the western side of the public toilet on Bon Crescent. The water tank will be finished in Colorbond steel with a colour to closely match the existing public toilet.

Mayor Cr James Tehan said the majority of comments received via the survey were positive and thanked the community for their involvement.

“Council appreciates the time taken by community members to provide their feedback on this project,” he said.

“Officers have been working with the Bonnie Doon Community Reference Group and from the initial site investigation, the existing supply water pressure was found to need boosting to run the pop-up sprinklers reliably.”

“The new tank will provide an improved lawn irrigation system, enhancing the grass area surrounding the war memorial.”

“Council looks forward to seeing these works take place.”

Following a site meeting with Community Reference Group members, an opportunity to paint a mural on the tank was also identified as a potential future project in consultation with the community.

The water tank installation is planned to take place in the coming months and Council will keep the community updated on project developments.
