House washing in Green Point, beside Brisbane Water

What should waterside Green Point homes keep in mind on wash day?

Nunn's Creek forms a natural border with Erina, and the Brisbane Water frontage gives many residents water views. Two heritage-listed places share one address, 9 Pixie Avenue: the Green Point Foreshore and Structures, and Mulholland's Farm.

With the creek on one edge and Brisbane Water on another, washing runoff never has far to go. The NSW EPA says it must not be let into stormwater drains, which carry it untreated to creeks, lakes and the ocean. Most homes are detached, 85.7% of occupied dwellings in 2021, and a house wash at low pressure suits brick, render, weatherboard and cladding.
