The system must be designed in accordance with the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater

Licence from the relevant State will also be required.
Sustainability
4. Council encourages sustainable and energy efficient building design for all development,
including the use of sustainable building materials, energy efficient fittings, solar hot water,
photovoltaic systems (including the use of inverter/charges), solar panels, water saving
devices and rainwater harvesting.
