Plumbing and drainage work includes permit work, onsite sewerage facilities and backflow prevention devices.
Contact Unitywater for issues with water supply and sewage treatment services.
All plumbing and drainage work must comply with current legislative requirements and regulations. The QBCC website has details of what is required for each type of work. This includes:

You need a licensed plumber or drainer for work, other than unregulated work. You can check your plumber or drainer's license online. Refer to the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC).
Permit work requires council assessment and approval before commencing work. It also requires mandatory inspections.
