Water and Sewerage Development

The framework for development affecting new and existing water and sewerage infrastructures

Water and Sewerage Connection Policies

Council’s water and sewerage (wastewater) infrastructure policies can be viewed at the links below. These policies provide a framework to guide development affecting new and existing water connections, including sewerage infrastructure, across the region. They apply to any businesses or persons who intend to connect to, or disconnect from, the existing water and sewerage infrastructures/networks.

These policies endeavour to:

  • deliver increased consistency in assets planning, design and construction standards pertaining to water and sewerage infrastructures across the region
  • maintain standardisation to support development planning
  • provide better services for the residents of the Southern Downs.
