When building or renovating a dwelling or commercial building all plumbing and drainage work must be carried out by a licenced plumber and inspected by Council prior to backfilling. It is also a requirement to complete a Sewerage Diagram and submit to Council for their records – this can be very important for future owners or developments on the property.
