Title: Suggestions for toilets in the pits?
Post by: John Orchard on September 04, 2013, 09:56:20 pm
Hey Guy's,  with visitors to 'VMX Park', we don't have any toilets (plenty of trees lol), any idea's on what I could supply in the short term for ladies that may visit?  Or anyone got any contacts for portable jobs?

You can buy a porta loo for under a $100 easy to use and clean and empty when you get home . $40 for Toilet /Shower tent that explodes out of the bag and puts itself up I carry mine most trips makes it easy with the girls .hilly

Or if you have some spare cash one of these aren't bad value if you intend to spend a fair bit of time up there.

Seriously? You just need a posthole digger and some secondhand roofing iron buy a seat at the camping shop if you dont wish to make one.

I'm pretty sure the shire won't like anything that does not have a septic if it's going into the ground. Sheep, cattle, roos and any other animal you can think can crap wherever they want, but oh no, not us humans  ???

Good that your doing a track ,the council will tell you what to do because they will be there to check what you do so do it how they want it then no worries. We have found this out with our track at Conondale.

Mate, just get a worksite/builders dunny. They are transportable and you get them pumped out when req. Should be able to get a second hand one.

Best you consult with your council first ..... because they will come and check you out once they know what's happening on your land ;)
Then they will most probably quote you this.

Alter and Operate a System of On-site Sewage Management” under Section 68 of the Environmental
Planning & Assessment Act 1979, Local Government Act 1993

I always thought a 5inch drill hole to 50 metres (or just above the water table) would be a good medium term sh*tter. throw a bit of lime down every so often

I used to have a thunder box with a bucket.  Put lime in it every time. Had three holes dug and would empty the bucket into them.  By the time the last hole was full, the first hole had turned into soil and could be dug out and put on the garden.  brilliant set up and never smelled.  The council health inspector came around one day and had a flip out.  I asked if it would be better if I had a septic that leaked raw sewerage all over the place.  (Which incidently I have now)

Johnny, have you done a "neighbour run" with some red wine?

we ran a pony express out that way years ago and we went round the neighbors and let them know what was about to happen on sunday morning at 9 am.

there was 1 house with no one home....ol mate landowner said its a city guy who rarely turns up but he will drop in sat nite if he is there...

at the duly appointed hour on a brisk sunday morning 87 mudda boiks fire into life and roar off around the course...(which had gone over a local dirt road as ol mates neighbour said..."run it into my paddock, its got some great jumps ;D")

I was manning the road crossing (on advice from local policeman who had showed up to watch 8)) when a Saab went through the crossing at 80K's with a very angry "city guy" who had headed for his country retreat late on sat nite and was "blasted out of bed at 9.00 on the dot :o. he was off to the local cops (heh heh) but it turned out he was a judge in the county court and there was some issues raised that killed our landowners and local cops enthusiasm for this event :(.....

find out where the line in the sand is... if its all good, you shouldn't have any worries about councils etc but if they are green and peacefull like.... they will know every bylaw in the constitution. You need to break them in carefully...

As your track is not a commercial installation and a few mates drop in for a "ride around" you shouldn't need to bother "officials" unless someone does it for you.....
