Plumbing & sewer plan records

You can request details of sewer mains (as Constructed Plans):

This service includes a search of Council’s electronic plumbing and drainage records, but Council does not perform a physical inspection of the premises in preparing this information.

Turnaround time for a sewer plan request is 2 business days. We will contact you if it is likely to take longer.  All search fees are non-refundable and as Council may not hold the requested information, searches are ordered at your own discretion.

Limitation on records

Council was not required to record As Constructed house drainage information prior to April 1998 in un-sewered areas. If your property was bult in an un-sewered area pre-1998, it is unlikely Council will hold plumbing and sewer plans.

Before you order, you can check if records are available - email the Plumbing & Drainage team or phone 4044 8235.
