Sewered sites
Sewered sites are connected to the vast network of infrastructure beneath the ground, that is our sewerage system. The sewerage system transports natural waste from your home or business to the treatment plants.
New plumbing works
Not all plumbing works will require approval from local government. Your licenced plumber or building certifier can help you determine if the work is notifiable or compliance assessable.
A geotechnical engineer or soil evaluator can provide advice about the type of system that will be best suited for your property. Council staff are not able to make any recommendations.
Notifiable works
Notifiable work extends the amount of work a plumber or drainer can perform without a local government permit or any requirement for mandatory inspections.
Notifiable work includes most plumbing and drainage work performed in existing homes and some plumbing and drainage work on commercial buildings.
