    Hi Darcy,

    Based on our recent chat with a TSIRC staff, we have confirmed that there’s no greywater management system in place in Saibai island.

    I encourage you to research the pros and cons of installing above ground vs. below ground greywater systems and evaluate what’s most suitable based on Saibai’s geology, topography and other design considerations. This handbook on Urban Greywater Design and Installation is a must read!

    Respecting country: A sustainable waste strategy for First Nation communities is a great resource that covers the shared strategy of waste management for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander councils and their communities.

    I hope this helps!

    Regards,
    Jean
