What is Form 43?
Form 43 is the stormwater installation certificate used in Queensland to confirm that a stormwater drainage system has been installed in accordance with the relevant standards and the approved plans. Unlike Form 7 / Form 9 (which go to council), Form 43 is generally provided to the homeowner or builder as evidence that the stormwater work has been correctly completed by a licensed plumber.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who completes Form 43 in Queensland?
The licensed plumber who installed the stormwater drainage system completes Form 43 to certify the installation. Form 43 is then provided to the homeowner or builder — it is not generally lodged with council.
Why does the homeowner or builder need Form 43?
Builders need Form 43 to show that the stormwater component of the building work has been correctly installed by a licensed plumber. Homeowners (and certifiers, banks, conveyancers) often want a copy as proof at handover or when selling the property.
How is Form 43 different from Form 7 or Form 9?
Form 7 is the QBCC notifiable work record (lodged to council). Form 9 is the backflow prevention test report (lodged to council). Form 43 certifies stormwater installation and is provided to the homeowner or builder, not council. TradeDesk supports all three workflows.
