City of Coffs Harbour's role in plumbing and drainage

City of Coffs Harbour is responsible for the regulation of plumbing and drainage works undertaken within the Coffs Harbour Local Government Area.

We work with the plumbing industry to ensure that all plumbing and drainage is carried out in accordance with the relevant standards.

All plumbing and drainage work must comply with the Plumbing Code of Australia and Australia Standard AS/NZS 3500. 

Regulated plumbing and drainage work must be undertaken by a NSW licensed plumber.

Maintenance and repair of water service and sewerage mains

We are generally responsible for the maintenance, repair and renewal of the reticulated water supply system:

  • from the City's mains supply to the water meter, and
  • from the City's sewer main to the connect point of the premises within the property boundary. 

The property owner is responsible for the maintenance and repair of all other water supply and sewerage drainage works within the property boundary.
