We must inspect all plumbing and drainage permit work and the work must be carried out by a licensed contractor.
All permit work must be inspected by Council. During construction, the plumbing contractor must contact Council to arrange for the work to be inspected. In most situations, an as-constructed plan of the installed plumbing and drainage will be required.
As-constructed drainage plan requirements for dwelling houses
Council requires the licensed plumbing contractor to provide an as-constructed drainage plan to the Council Plumbing Inspector at the sanitary drain inspection.
The as-constructed plan is to indicate the sewer connection details and all in-ground sanitary drainage, plus the location of the water meter and in-ground water service to the point of entry.
The as-constructed plan must be drawn on the Council template provided below and be either A4 or A3 size. The fact sheet below contains an example indicating the minimum standard required.
Failure to provide the as-constructed drainage plan at the sanitary drain inspection or to the required standard may result in the inspection being failed, which may incur additional charges.
Bookings are confirmed within one business day.
