What is a Final Inspection Certificate?
A Final Inspection Certificate is a very important document as it highlights work that has been carried out, to the extent stated on the certificate.
This certificate will be issued after the completion of a final inspection undertaken by a Council Plumbing Inspector and a copy will be sent to the property owner and the applicant if requested on the Form 1 at time of lodgement.
All commercial plumbing installations should request a Final Inspection Certificate as the building certifier may require this document to issue clearance certificates.
For more information please contact Council.
