General Plumber in Redland Bay

Need a plumber in Redland Bay for a leaking tap, burst pipe, hot water fault or new fixture? Jim Monger Plumbing and Gas is a family-run plumber and gasfitter with its base at Victoria Point, and Redland Bay is in our listed service area. We handle repairs, installs and maintenance for homeowners, landlords and property managers. Council says some properties in the suburb have on-site wastewater systems, water tanks or gas bottles, so it pays to know what yours runs on before work is priced. Tell us your street when you ring, and ask for a free quote.

Start with your end of the suburb. The marina and Esplanade raise tide and erosion questions, sloping western and southern blocks raise a landslide check, and southern septic owners have a sewer question to put to Council.

Council’s own descriptions show very different land inside this one suburb. In the Moogurrapum Creek catchment, land east of Cleveland Redland Bay Road is mainly urban residential, and land west of it is mainly rural and commercial. Further south, Council describes a narrow coastal strip with short waterways, mostly rural, with recent housing in the lower Weinam and Torquay Creek catchments.

At the marina end, a 2013 stormwater plan prepared for Council says the proposed Weinam Creek development would discharge directly into Moreton Bay, with storm tide to consider as well as inland flooding. If your stormwater heads toward tidal water around there, ask how the outlet behaves at high tide before paying to clear or relay the line.

Between Moores Road and Auster Street, Council reports foreshore erosion on the Esplanade, and in 2025 it closed about 180 metres of shoreline to access while monitoring embankment and road stability. Council’s page does not mention drainage, so treat this as a precaution, and ask Council before aiming new stormwater at that embankment.

Council rates landslide risk from low to high by location, concentrated in the western and southern parts and along sections of the coastline, with most residential development adjacent to risk areas, not within them, though parts of the coastal fringe have homes near them. On a slope, we suggest asking Council how your location is rated before a trench or seepage line goes in.

Council says rural non-urban properties in the Southern Redland Bay catchment are on septic or on-site systems, and says tanks need checking annually regardless. Redland Bayside News reported on 8 September 2025 that the Longland Rd wastewater treatment plant was expected to finish by the end of 2025; we could not confirm it is operating. Deputy Mayor Julie Talty said it would give sewer connection opportunities to residents on smaller lots. That promises no lot a connection, so on a smaller lot, ask Council before renewing a septic system.

Scenic Shores State School, which places itself at the centre of southern Redland Bay’s Shoreline development, had its first academic year in January 2024. If your recently built home there has a suspected defect, ask QBCC before paying for work. Its Home Warranty Scheme limits differ: for a non-structural defect, become aware within 6 months of substantial completion and claim within 7; for a structural one, become aware within the cover period and claim within 3 months of that. QBCC’s page does not say how plumbing defects are categorised.

With those answers in hand, we can quote whatever drainage, trench or septic work is left.
