My first "encounter" with Noosa Council (NSC) goes back to 1986. I bought a property at Lake MacDonald, which was affected by the most stringent waste water regulations. Therefore I was amazed that the waste water disposal was subject to an old fashioned trench absorption system.
I thought if I would introduce a "Mini-sewerage-treatment unit" NSC would be in favor of my proposal. We have been asked to inform NSC about the proposed system. A meeting was arranged which was attended by some councilors and staff. This specific system and similar systems have been used in the USA and Germany for many many years. The distributor handed over brochures to about 12 people at the meeting. As I was only a by-sitter, I had plenty of time to study their faces. If there was one "official" showing interest on this sewerage system, I would have been happy.
Our proposal was rejected. We had to use the outdated, old fashioned trench absorption system. Twenty years later it is a "must" to use one of the treatment plants.
It stinks.................................
