Plumber Yagoona

Your Local Yagoona Plumber

Yagoona was once known as Irish Town, after the Irish families given land grants here, and St Matthew's Anglican Church went up on Liverpool Road, now the Hume Highway, in 1861. The suburb was named in 1927 and the station opened the following year when the Bankstown line was extended to Regents Park. It is in the City of Canterbury-Bankstown, with its shops strung along the Hume Highway near the station. Most homes are still houses, but fewer than before: separate houses fell from 72% of homes in 2006 to about 65% at the 2021 census, as townhouses, villas and units replaced them.

Underneath Yagoona is clay. A 2025 geotechnical report for a site on the Hume Highway found silty clay over Bringelly Shale, part of the Wianamatta Group, and rated the ground moderately reactive. Reactive clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and over the decades that movement works on the joints of old sewer pipe. The other factor is stormwater. Parts of Yagoona drain to Duck River, which starts in a drain in neighbouring Birrong, and council stormwater reports for Yagoona properties refer to overland flow paths and flood extents from the Duck River catchment study. Then there is the rebuilding: as older houses make way for dual occupancies and granny flats, each one needs new sewer and stormwater connections.
