Plumbing in Bankstown & Canterbury-Bankstown, NSW

Bankstown & Canterbury-Bankstown covers Bankstown, Yagoona, Punchbowl, Revesby, Padstow, Chester Hill and Bass Hill, from the Hume Highway and Canterbury Road down to the Georges River at Milperra and Picnic Point. The housing is mostly 1950s and 60s fibro and brick, now mixed with duplexes and granny flats, plus 1960s-70s unit blocks and 2010s apartments around Bankstown Central and the station, all sitting on clay soils with old earthenware sewers under mature street trees.

Canterbury-Bankstown was built out in the post-war decades, and most of the housing in Yagoona, Bass Hill, Chester Hill, Revesby and Padstow is 1950s and 60s fibro or brick on clay blocks with earthenware sewers that are now sixty to seventy years old. Many of those blocks now carry a granny flat or have been split into duplexes, adding load to drains that were laid for one small family. Around Bankstown Central and the station, 1960s-70s walk-up unit blocks stand beside 2010s apartment towers on the Bankstown line's Metro corridor. The Georges River and its creeks run along the southern and western edges at Milperra, Picnic Point and Padstow. Bankstown Hospital, the airport, the Hume Highway, Stacey Street, Canterbury Road and Henry Lawson Drive are the reference points.
