Plumbing in Moonee Ponds
Three eras in one street
Moonee Ponds was farms until the early eighteen eighties, when estates such as the Whitaker Estate were sold, and there were still many gaps to be filled by suburban houses in the interwar years. One street can hold drains from three eras.
Greater Western Water has finished its Pascoe Vale Road water main renewal here, replacing a main well over a century old by drilling rather than trenching.
Water has always gathered here: Queens Park lake was recreated on a natural water hole, and Ormond Park sits where the suburb meets the Moonee Ponds Creek.

Moonee Ponds questions
Heritage rules and old trees
Do heritage rules stop a plumbing repair?
Generally no. In Moonee Valley, routine maintenance and repairs which do not change the external appearance of a heritage property are generally exempt; external alterations can need a permit.
Can a drain be dug near the station?
Carefully. The mature Pepper trees and Canary Island palms at Moonee Ponds Railway Station are part of its heritage significance, so a trench near their roots is planned around them rather than cut through.
