Plumbing and Wastewater Code and associated
guidelines are used to confirm the suitability of
each site to accommodate an on-site sewerage
facility; or where a centrally located group
collection treatment system is proposed,
confirmation as to the suitability of the
designated site to accommodate the on-
site sewerage facility. Additionally, where the
combined total peak design capacity of effluent
treatment is less than 21 equivalent persons, the
design of the system achieves a low to medium
risk classification in accordance with Seqwater’s
Land Use Risk Tool for onsite sewerage facilities.
