If you have a high house and want to raise the tank onto a stand, then the

Why not just sit it on the ground and buy a taller tank? Pressure is a
factor of the "head" (height of water above the tap), assuming you've
used at least 1/2" pipe and not a long run.

But a high tank means that you
are not held hostage to a pressure pump for gardening, and a reliable
240 supply during hosing down during bushfire weather.

Reliable mains and bushfires do not go together.
