Plumbing inspections

Feedback

During construction, your plumbing contractor will arrange for inspection of the work by council. In most situations, your plumber will need to complete a form 7 for the inspection to take place. They might also need a plan of the installed plumbing and drainage.

Inspections

Before booking an inspection, you need:

installed plumbing needs to be visible and under test
permit issued by council for the related work
a completed form 7 submitted nominating the responsible person for the work
a commissioning certificate for on-site sewerage facility, if the property is non sewered
all fees paid.

As constructed plans are required at the sanitary drainage inspection.

Final inspections

To book a final plumbing inspection, you need:

installation to be complete
all legislated or council requirements met
payment of any outstanding defects
as constructed plans available at inspection, where required.

A licensed plumber or drainer must carry out plumbing and drainage work, other than unregulated work. Check your plumber or drainer's license at Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) website.
