Plumbing in Burnside Heights
A suburb split off in 2005 beside Kororoit Creek
Victorian Places says both suburbs were first known as Burnside, and Burnside Heights was detached and named in late 2005. The houses are of that decade or newer, so PVC drains are the norm and a stoppage tends to be builder debris, a settled joint or a root at a junction.
The suburb is on the northern side of the creek, just west of Kings Park, with a linear park along Kororoit Creek. Homes near that corridor can sit on lower ground that takes overland flow.

Burnside Heights questions
Townhouse titles and ponding by the linear park
Is a townhouse drain here likely to be shared?
Some do. At the last Census 9.4 percent of dwellings were semi-detached, row or terrace houses or townhouses, and none were flats, so the title plan is checked before a single sewer branch is assumed.
Why does water pond near the creek park after rain?
Lower lots near the linear park take run off from higher streets. Past ponding is asked about, and pit and grate levels measured, before any stormwater work is quoted.
Can a jetter usually reach the drain?
Mostly. Nearly all homes are detached with side access, so a jetter or camera can normally get to the inspection opening without going through a neighbour's yard.
