Water Tanks Gin Gin

Quick Links

Gin Gin is located on the Bruce Highway, approximately 51 km west of Bundaberg. The town owes its existence to its strategic location about halfway between Brisbane and Rockhampton. 

Pioneer Water Tanks have been the best Gin Gin steel water tank supplier and manufacturer for more than 30 years.

Pioneer Water Tank customers in Gin Gin can sit back in the knowledge they have the support of Australia's number one big tank manufacturer.

Due to many people in Gin Gin being mindful of their water harvesting and water storage needs, many still turn to a Pioneer Water Tank to help meet their needs.

Pioneer Tanks are available in a standard Zincalume ® finish, or the full range of Colorbond colours seen below ®. All Pioneer tanks are manufactured right here in Australia with Australian BlueScope steel.

Bushfire preparation

Sadly the long hot dry seasons in Gin Gin leave it, like much of Australia, susceptible to wide-spread bushfires. Even with the fact that much of Gin Gin's rainfall comes in the warmer months, this often leads to long grasses which ignite easily.

Fire has long been a recognised threat in Queensland, and the Queensland Fire Service was born in 1860, and the first firefighters were employed in the state in 1889. The first fire legislation - the Act to Prevent the Careless Use of Fire 1865 - was enacted some 35 years before federation.

A valuable way to anticipate the drier months of the year is to make sure that you not only have a bushfire action plan but also that you have appropriate water storage to assist you and emergency services protect against the threat of wildfires.

A steel water tank can be used as both fire protection and water storage for the home, and Pioneer also offers a fire reserve option for your water tank if called for.

Outperforming all comers in bushfire conditions.

A Pioneer Water Tank performed better than the competition in bushfire simulation when testing was performed by the Bushfire and National Hazards CRC in partnership with the CSIRO.

After 30 minutes of submersion in flame, the Pioneer Water Tank continued to hold water, a vital attribute for firefighting efforts, while the other tanks tested either melted or split, causing their water to be partially or completely lost.

While a water tank will still prove adequate for watering gardens or lawns, if it has been subjected to fire, it is highly recommended that you get the tank water tested as soon as possible to make sure that it is still healthy for household use.

Whilst rainfall is a welcome sight across this dry nation of ours, changing weather conditions causing heavy storms, and modern infrastructure like asphalt and sidewalks, often leads to the build-up of water and flash flooding, which can cause damage to property and the environment.

Installing a rainwater tank and sufficient guttering can help relieve struggling stormwater systems from some of the rainfall, and help to decrease the likelihood of flash flooding.

If we suppose the average roof in Gin Gin is 200m2, then in the case of a weather event that dropped 100mm of rainfall, it would only need 100 homes to have installed rainwater tanks to keep over 2 million litres of water from becoming stormwater run off.

Gureng Gureng is an Australian Aboriginal language spoken by the Gureng Gureng people. The Gooreng Gooreng language region includes the towns of Bundaberg, Gin Gin and Miriam Vale extending south towards Childers, inland to Monto and Mt Perry.

Settlement of the region began in 1848 when Gregory Blaxland Jnr together with William Forster brought their flocks of sheep up from their squatting leases on the Clarence River. The pastoral run they selected extended all the way to the coast and they called it Tirroan. The modern town of Gin Gin is located close to where the original homestead was constructed.
