Worth knowing about Carrara

Carrara sits on the Guragunbah Plain, once known unofficially as the Merrimac-Carrara Flood Plain. Homes went up in the north from the early 1980s, and the Emerald Lakes canal estate later replaced the old raceway. On a flood plain, heavy rain can put both stormwater and sewer drains under strain. Tell us about the blockage, and we'll pass your details to a licensed local plumber who covers Carrara, with your permission.

Carrara had 13,138 residents at the 2021 Census (ABS QuickStats).

Carrara’s homes include the 1980s estates in the north and the newer Emerald Lakes canal estate. A blocked drain looks much the same in both. A shower or sink drains slowly, the toilet gurgles, or there is a smell outside. After heavy rain, check for water pooling around the gully. If the gully grate is overflowing, the blockage is usually further down the line.

The City of Gold Coast looks after the sewer from its main to the property connection point. On the property side, the owner looks after the drains and inspection openings. A licensed local plumber can work out which side the blockage is on. If sewage is spilling from a manhole in the street, call the City on 1300 GOLDCOAST (1300 465 326).
