Village settlement lots, then and now
Badger Creek was surveyed as a village settlement, providing blocks of 8 ha, and it is now described as both rural and urban. A large lifestyle lot usually means long pipe runs and rough ground for machinery, so the job is scoped on site before a price.
The population grew a great deal after the early sixties. Most houses are likely newer than that, with modern pipe, but an older farm cottage or shed may still have mixed or patched pipework.

Badger Creek questions
New kerbs, settlement buildings and tanks
What changes for stormwater on the newly kerbed streets?
The legal outlet can move. Council's road group works on five Badger Creek streets include concrete kerb and channel or edge strip with associated underground longitudinal drainage, so a property connection there follows council's drainage plans before downpipes are joined or redirected.
Does the old settlement hall need a heritage permit for plumbing?
Possibly. The former village settlement, with its public hall and original school, is listed by Yarra Ranges Shire as Included in Heritage Overlay. Visible plumbing, downpipes or roof drainage on those buildings may need a permit, so time is allowed for a council check.
Is a house on a big lot on sewer?
Often not. Tank water and septic systems are common on large rural lots, so the system is confirmed before a blockage is diagnosed.
