A protected avenue, and a town up on rock

The avenue of Brush Box along Old Princes Highway is an entry statement to the Royal National Park and is protected as a heritage item, and council’s planning rules say planting along that road has to respect it. Most of Sutherland’s town centre sits high on a ridge, and council’s planning rules record that ground as Hawkesbury Sandstone, with claystone, siltstone and shale lenses in it. Ownership up there is fragmented too, recorded across mostly small lots. Rock that is slow to cut through, a protected avenue to work around, neighbours you have to ask: that is what we plan around.

What we handle in Sutherland

Hard ground, protected roots, and more than one owner per block.

Anything that has already failed this morning is Emergency Plumber page territory. Everything in these cards gets arranged ahead, for an hour the building can live with.

Rock below, protected roots above.

Those two facts decide where a line can be reached from, which on a ridge-top block is rarely the shortest way to it. Along Old Princes Highway it also means working around an avenue of trees protected as a heritage item. We settle the route first, then dig. Getting down to a line under rock 

Small lots, more than one name on a job.

Council records have ownership in the centre broken up across mostly small lots, while most homes here are flats. Next door is often a different owner, sometimes with pipework of a different age, and whoever rings us is often not whoever decides. We are used to dealing with managers and owners corporations. Jobs with more than one party in them 

Cheaper before it fails than after.

A set interval on gas appliances, hot water and drains comes in well under the bill for any of them letting go unannounced. Up here it also saves a second trip up the ridge.

Fees, up front.

Not every visit here carries a call-out fee. Where one does, we say the amount before a time is set, not once the job is done.

Frequently asked questions

Owners, tenants, or whoever looks after the building, whichever of them gets in touch first. Council's planning rules for newer blocks in the centre put a shared rainwater tank, pump and taps out in the common open space rather than inside a home, so we settle early who signs off, and nobody finds out afterwards that a decision was theirs.

Sandstone. Most of the town centre sits on a ridge mapped as Hawkesbury Sandstone, and where rock sits close to the surface a hole is slower to dig than its size suggests, so we would sooner allow for that in the quote than be surprised by it.

Sutherland holds the Shire's administration building, and Eton Street links the council chambers, Entertainment Centre, schools and shops, so we plan around office and school hours as well as shop trading, and agree a time with you before we start.
