Shire Administration Office

There are two (2) fixed standpipes available for use in the Shire of Donnybrook Balingup.

From these standpipes, you can access and purchased bulk drinking water from Water Corporation. Fixed standpipes like these provide an essential water source for people in remote communities who are further away from reticulated water schemes, and may otherwise have limited or no water for household purposes, firefighting, or to supplement water for stock.

 

Accessing the Standpipes

Both of our standpipes are accessible using a swipe card, which can be obtained from the Shire Administration Office (1 Bentley Street, Donnybrook, 6239). Please note that you will need to complete a Standpipe Swipe Card form (see below) and provide a deposit on the card upon issue - this can take up to 24 hours to load onto the card, so please ensure you have allowed enough time prior to the time you need to access the standpipe.

All Applications & Forms

Alternatively, they can also be accessed via a pay-as-you-go system, using PayPal, by scanning a QR code that is located on the standpipe. This method provides you with prompts to go through each step of this process. However, swipe cards are the best option for regular use, as they require pre-funding and will still work if the QR code is having issues.

Please note that only commercial businesses can apply for an account option.

 

The different rates between our Shire standpipes are due to how Water Corporation apply their fees and charges for water taken from fixed regional standpipes. Additional information can be found via the PDF linked below. Please note that Donnybrook is classified as a Step 8 town, and Balingup is classified as a Step 15 town.
