Septic Tank Installation in Eagle Bay
There is no mains sewer at Eagle Bay to connect to. The City of Busselton's policy for the Eagle Bay Special Character Area says the lack of reticulated sewerage and water supply has limited residential development to a low density, and it names the absence of reticulated water and sewer services at Eagle Bay as a limit on services there. A house here needs an onsite system, with the City's approval first.

Permits and City of Busselton rules
A septic system here needs the local government's approval before construction starts, whichever locality it is in: the Department of Health says it is an offence to start without an approval from the local government or the Department. This page does not say what any one lot needs beyond that. The City of Busselton can say for a lot, and the Water Corporation whether sewer reaches it.

Septic Tank Installation around Eagle Bay
The City's policy says the lack of reticulated sewerage and water supply in Eagle Bay has limited residential development at a low density and extent of gardens with favoured use of native species, and it lists sewer, water and local roads as services that are particularly critical at Eagle Bay due to the absence of reticulated water and sewer services. That is the City's description of the Special Character Area, written for planning. It is not a survey of any lot, and it does not say what system a given block needs.
With no sewer to connect to, the job here is an onsite system from the start, so the questions are which system, where on the lot and what the City needs before it approves. The approval page sets out the order, and the choosing page sets out what the City and the State say decide the system.
