A plumbing approval is required to carry out water, sewerage and stormwater works to a property and must be obtained before a plumber starts work on any job.

You can apply for a plumbing approval by downloading the application form, completing and lodging it upon payment at our Kiewa Street office. You'll need to with your application:

• Site plan - indicating all levels, existing structures and vegetation
• BASIX certificate - where relevant
• Floor plan - existing and proposed works shown separately
• Hydraulic design - for larger commerical projects

Applications are generally processed and issued within 5 working days from the date of system lodgement or with the Development Consent where relevant.

Before any plumbing works are started, you'll need to submit a Notice of Work at least 2 working days prior.

A Sewer Service Diagram and Certificate of Compliance must be submitted to info@alburycity.nsw.gov.au before a final inspection is booked and carried out. This information is required to undertake the inspection.
