Pioneer Water Tanks has been working alongside rural families and farms across New South Wales for more than thirty years, proving the strength and reliability of our tanks in every climate the state has to offer.
Temperate climate regions – sometimes called tepid climates – sit between the subtropics and polar regions, and while rare in much of the Southern Hemisphere, New South Wales is fortunate to have large areas within this classification. From the coastal strip to the tablelands, the state experiences mild, wet winters and warmer, drier summers, creating conditions well suited to both farming and settlement.
The diversity of NSW’s temperate regions is reflected in rainfall patterns. Coastal towns such as Wollongong and Coffs Harbour can see well over 1,000mm of rain annually, while inland centres like Bathurst, Dubbo and Tamworth average closer to 500–700mm. Despite cooler winters, these inland areas often endure long, hot, dry summers, making secure water storage just as vital as in drier western regions.
Whether it’s a family home in the Southern Highlands, a vineyard in Orange, or a grazing property on the Northern Tablelands, reliable rainwater tanks are essential to carry communities and producers through the dry periods. Pioneer Water Tanks has the experience and solutions to meet these needs right across New South Wales.

New South Wales’ temperate regions are among the most populous in the state, stretching across the coastal strip, the tablelands, and into some of the inland slopes. They include major population centres such as Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, and many regional hubs like Wagga Wagga, Bathurst and Tamworth.
The state’s key agricultural enterprises – including dairying in the Hunter, South Coast and Northern Rivers, vineyards in the Hunter and Orange, and broadacre livestock and cereal production across the Central West and Riverina – all fall within these temperate zones. Fruit and vegetable production is also extensive, making these regions critical to both the state and national economy.
Every one of these farming ventures relies on secure water storage to maintain productivity through the year, particularly when dry summers stretch supplies. And it’s not only farms – thousands of rural and regional families across NSW depend on rainwater for drinking, bathing and gardening. Pioneer Water Tanks has been part of that way of life for more than thirty years, delivering reliable storage solutions to households and businesses alike.
