If you buy it from bunnings it can cost as much as $25/m,
If you shop around you should be able to get it for <$10/m but you will probably have to buy it in 6m lengths.

Try Total Eden or Reece Plumbing. Both have several outlets. Don't know pricing.

Bunnings sell 6m lengths for around $65, which is about the same price as Pipe Online.

Not promoting one over the other, but sometimes, it's about logistics.

Rock up to the trade section, if you can't roof-rack or otherwise carry a 6m length, bring a hacksaw. Buy it, cut in half (or whatever else is convenient) and bingo, job done.

EDIT: Found the link to the product: https://www.bunnings.com.au/holman-1...-pipe_p4770347

I tried getting from bunnings but the store I went to only had 3m lengths at some indecent price, so a little negotiation and I got 5 x 3m lengths for the equivalent 6m price,
Having a large canopy on the ute was an advantage, each piece strapped down and 2 days, 700k later safely home

Bunnings price is for DWV and Storm water 150mm ($67)
Pipeonlien stormwater price is $52
But I agree it is also about logistics

Storm water is just as good a DWV for Ducting

Thank you Bob! Goes to show what happens when you go from memory (I failed to look it up). Sorry for the red-herring everyone!
