QLD Plumbing Compliance Checklist
A free compliance checklist for Queensland plumbers — covering Form 7, Form 9, inspection requirements, and council lodgement steps.
QLD Plumbing Compliance Checklist
- Classify the work — Is it notifiable (Schedule 1 Part 2), assessable (Part 1), or unregulated? TradeDesk's compliance checker helps.
- Check permit requirements — Assessable work needs a compliance permit before starting. Notifiable work needs a Form 7 after completion.
- Complete the work to standard — AS/NZS 3500 (plumbing), AS/NZS 5601 (gas), and any council-specific conditions.
- Lodge Form 7 — Within 10 business days of completing notifiable work. Email to the relevant council.
- Lodge Form 9 (if backflow) — After annual testing of testable backflow prevention devices.
- Book inspection (if required) — Some work requires a council or private certifier inspection before covering.
- Issue Form 43 (if stormwater) — Provide to homeowner/builder as evidence of correct stormwater installation.
- Keep records — Retain copies of all forms, inspection results, and correspondence for audit purposes.
