 I found the side drain is only designed for dishwasher which the hold is smaller design for low flow of water. I am not sure is it suitable for my washing machine as well?  

And I try to go to Bunnings to designed the PVC fitting by my myself , but there is no U shape PVC fitting and Sepcila washing machine drain connect ( bigger size for special for washing machine)sale in Bunnings

 

I found Mydeal.com.au have the item for sale which is quite fitted. But it is P trap design.
