All sanitary plumbing and drainage work that is regulated by the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2002 must be carried out by a person who holds a license or interim license that entitles the person to perform the work.
It is the license holder's responsibility to ensure that the plumbing and drainage work is inspected before the work is covered up.
Unregulated work means work that is only: -
- Installing or maintaining an irrigation or lawn watering system downstream from an isolating valve, tap or backflow prevention device provided for the irrigation system
- Maintaining an above or below ground irrigation system for the disposal of effluent from an on-site sewerage facility
- Replacing a tap washer
- Replacing a shower head
- Replacing inlet and outlet valve washers in a toilet cistern
- Cleaning or maintaining ground level grates to a trap on sanitary drains
- Replacing caps to ground level inspection openings on sanitary drains is the only work permitted by the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2002 to be carried out while not holding an appropriate license.
