Price of water tanks & sheds (semi-rural)
Submitted by Olliej on Mon, 2013-06-17 20:11
I'm doing some back of the envelope calculations on moving from suburbia to 1 to 2 HA a little further out.
Keen to get some supply and install ballparks from those that have gone through a similar build
watertank - circa 100000L
Garage/Shed - park boat, trailer, mower and man cave
Septic System - straight leech style or a fancier treatment unit
Cheers.

Water tanks and septic
I scored a 55000 litre rhino water tank from the karragullen show a couple of years ago for $6500, you could probably triple that price now for 100000 litre tank.septic tank setup cost me about$10000-$12000 that included 20t excavator with rock breaker, 2 tanks,30 metres of leach drains and a dozen semi's of clean fill.

It's only money
I hope you are cashed up, I am doing the same in Jurien. For the septics make sure you are allowed them or your up for a bio system and they are not cheap. A lot depends on where you are, what size shed etc. I got a 12 -7.5 m shed with a 4m leanto running the full length for 11k, (pick up from factory) the conc will cost about $40-50 Sqm but a mate will do mine at a special discounted rate (price of conc + key to gate).Is your block powered, another costly thing to do and consider where you put your shed /house etc
This habit is getting expensive!

Depends
Site works etc depend a lot on site specific things such as soil type (ie sand, clay,limestone). Council rules are also a factor. If you are building North of Perth I may be able to help with the shed.

I'm running the ecomax septic
I'm running the ecomax septic system and it's been in for 7 years without a problem. Touch wood! I think it was about 7 grand. The ecomax has no ongoing costs. 120 000l tank was about 10 grand and we had a few dramas with the bag leaking. Every time it leaked we had to drain all the water and pay for a few loads. Probably dumped 1000 bucks worth of water until they finally got the bag fixed!

Cheers - costs we've been seeing haven't put us off yet. We are looking in Oakford and not a huge amount on the market.

In oakford you will have to
In oakford you will have to add about 20 grand for 800-1000mm sand pad because its on clay. And another couple of grand for decent driveway. Well worth it for the lifestyle but!
