An Ongoing Battle with the Elements

The Yarra Glen climate

Rainwater run-off and flooding

While many people across our dry country relish the sight of rain, evolving weather conditions, and modern infrastructure have resulted in increasing cases of storm water run off and flash flooding.

If 100mm of rain fell on Yarra Glen in just 24 hours, in order to prevent 2 million litres of rainfall from entering stormwater systems, it would require just 100 homes armed with rainwater tanks and suitable guttering.

Bushfire preparation

Australia is famous around the world for its long hot summers, and outside of the uninhabitable Antarctica, is the driest continent on the planet. Pairing this with the way many Australian plants behave, much of Victoria is susceptible to large scale wildfires.

Along with having a bushfire action plan, an important way to prepare for the dry summer months is to ensure that you have adequate water storage to help safeguard you from the threat of fire, and a Pioneer Water Tank helps provide that protection.

Pioneer Water Tanks offers the option of a fire reserve in your tank, to ensure it can be used for both domestic water storage and fire protection.

Outperforming all comers in bushfire conditions

The CSIRO performed bushfire simulation tests on water tanks in collaboration with the Bushfire and National Hazards CRC, and the results showed that a steel Pioneer Water Tank held up better than the competition.

All other tanks tested either melted or split, causing them to lose precious water, however the Pioneer Water Tank continued to hold water after being exposed to the full 30 minute fire front, which could prove essential to fire fighting efforts.

After a fire front has gone by, the water in your tank can still be used for non-consumptive purposes, like watering your gardens, however, it is highly recommended to get your water tested as soon as possible to make sure that your water is safe before using it for food preparation or drinking.

The Pioneer Water Tanks Difference

Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile

Designed for durability and for the sole function of water storage, the Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile is also a Pioneer Water Tanks exclusive.

The V-Lock wall profile is designed to put the steel where it is needed most, for the optimal strength and support, as well as protecting the tank liner, not just from external debris, but also against stretching or warping from the tank filling and emptying.

It's a design so good, it won an Australian Design Award for the superior strength and internal support, along with its visually pleasing appearance.

Aqualiner Fresh ® antimicrobial water tank liner

Proven to prevent the growth of undesirable bacteria in your water tank, the Aqualiner Fresh ® water tank liner is the only antimicrobial water tank liner available on the market, and a Pioneer Water tanks exclusive.

The natural antimicrobial qualities of silver and Sanitized ® technology are woven into the Aqualiner Fresh ® water tank liner.

The most technologically advanced, cleanest and strongest liner available on the market, this is an industry leading product, comprised of five distinct layers to protect and store your water.

Yarra Glen Local Insight

Local knowledge

Prior to the arrival of Europeans the Yarra Valley was known as Billanook to the Wurundjeri Aborigines who lived in the area. European settlement began in the late 1830s after Robert Hoddle surveyed the area.

The town was originally known as Yarra Flats but when the railway arrived in 1889 a number of places - the railway station, the post office and the school - all changed their names to Yarra Glen. The term "Yarra" was given to the river by John Helder Wedge of the Port Phillip Association. He thought, incorrectly, that it was a Wurundjeri term for "river".

Things to do in Yarra Glen 

Located at the heart of Yarra Glen, and clearly the town's most impressive building, is the Grand Hotel. Built in 1888, during the boom period, this two-storey stuccoed hotel has a four-storey tower at one end, a masonry arcade along the street frontage, a cast-iron veranda and a parapet.

In areas like the Yarra Valley, where there are dozens of cellar doors, if you are a wine person; you'll be in your element. Find a guide to the area's wineries and taste your way through the region.
