Biocycle Systems Supplied and Installed
Accredited Biocycle Installer
A Biocycle is an aerated wastewater treatment system, which treats effluent to a higher standard than a conventional septic tank and disperses it through irrigation rather than a trench. That makes it the practical answer on blocks where a standard system will not fit. We are accredited Biocycle installers and supply, install and arrange the council approval across the Mid North Coast and Manning Valley.

From Approval to a Running System
How It Works
A Biocycle install runs the same way as any other system we put in, with one extra step at the end because an aerated system has to be serviced.
Council Approval
Installing an aerated system needs Section 68 approval before work starts. We prepare and lodge the application, arrange the site and soil assessment, and follow it through to the approval to operate once the system is in.
Supply and Delivery
We supply the unit and get it to the property. On acreage that usually means planning the delivery and the excavation together so the truck and the machine only have to come once.
Install and Commission
We excavate, set the unit, connect the plumbing and power, and lay the irrigation area. The system is then commissioned and handed over ready for its first service.
Treated Water Instead of Raw Effluent
What A Biocycle Does
A conventional septic tank settles solids and sends the liquid to a disposal trench. A Biocycle goes further. It aerates the wastewater so bacteria break down the waste, then settles and disinfects it, and what comes out is clear enough to irrigate a garden area rather than disappear into a trench.
That difference is why it gets used where a standard system will not work. Treated effluent needs far less land to disperse, so a Biocycle often suits a smaller block, a steeper site, or ground with a high water table where a trench would never be approved.
Biocycle is the aerated system we install. It is accredited for use in NSW and we are accredited to install it, which matters because council will want to see that on the paperwork.
When a Biocycle Is the Right Call
Where It Suits
An aerated system is not automatically better than a septic tank. It is better in specific conditions, and the site and soil assessment is what settles it.
Smaller Blocks
Treated effluent is irrigated rather than trenched, so it needs less land. On a block that cannot fit a conventional disposal area, this is often the only compliant option.
High Water Table
On low river flats and estuary blocks where groundwater sits close to the surface, there is rarely enough depth for a trench. An aerated system works around that.
Slope and Rock
Steeper hill country and shallow soil over rock limit where effluent can go. Irrigation gives more flexibility in where the disposal area sits.
Replacing a Failing System
When an old system has failed and the original trench area is spent, an aerated unit can often be approved where a like-for-like replacement cannot.
"The installation was clean, quick, and professionally done"
Septic Tank Installtion
From the first phone call, Ben made everything so straightforward. He handled the council approval, explained the options clearly, and kept us updated the whole way through. The installation was clean, quick, and professionally done.
As someone building on a rural block for the first time, I really appreciated the honesty and attention to detail. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone needing a septic system installed.
The whole process was so easy from start to finish. Ben handled the council stuff, kept us informed, and had the system installed quicker than we expected.
We were building a new home off-grid and had no idea what was needed. Ben explained everything clearly and made sure it was all compliant.
We replaced an old tank that kept blocking up. The new system has been running perfectly since day one, and we wish we had done it sooner.

Common Questions About Biocycle Systems
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we get asked most often before an aerated system goes in.
What is the difference between a Biocycle and a septic tank?
A septic tank settles solids and sends the liquid to a disposal trench. A Biocycle aerates the wastewater so bacteria break it down, then settles and disinfects it, and the treated water is irrigated to a garden area instead. Because treated effluent needs far less land to disperse, an aerated system often fits where a conventional trench will not.
Do I need council approval for a Biocycle?
Yes. Installing an aerated system in NSW needs approval under Section 68 of the Local Government Act before work starts, and it usually includes a site and soil assessment. Once the system is installed and inspected, council issues an approval to operate. We prepare and lodge the paperwork and deal with council through the process.
How often does a Biocycle need servicing?
At least once every three months. Quarterly servicing by an accredited technician is a standard condition of council approval for aerated systems in NSW, and councils check that the service contract is in place as part of the approval to operate.
Does a Biocycle use power?
Yes. An aerated system runs a blower to keep oxygen up in the treatment chamber and a pump to move treated water out to the irrigation area, so it needs a power connection. That is one of the practical differences against a conventional septic tank, which is entirely passive.
Can a Biocycle replace a failing septic system?
Often, yes. When an old system has failed and the original trench area is spent, an aerated unit can sometimes be approved where a like-for-like replacement cannot, because the treated effluent needs less land. The site and soil assessment is what confirms it.
