On-Site Sewerage Management System
The design, installation and operation of domestic on-site sewage management systems are regulated under New South Wales legislation.
Under this legislation, approval is needed for the installation, construction or alteration of an on-site sewage management system. Local Governments such as Kyogle Council are responsible for the issuing of these approvals.
Specific requirements for on-site sewage management approvals, including performance standards, have been set out by the NSW government and the application process ensures that the system you install meets these requirements and has the best chances of operating trouble free and without risk to health or the environment.
You are required to complete a Section 68 application to Install and/or Construct, Alter or Operate an On-site Sewage Management System and Effluent Disposal Area and provide an accompanying report as per NSW Government ‘Environment & Health Protection Guidelines: Onsite wastewater management’ and AS 1547:2012 (Australian Standard: On-site domestic wastewater management). Section 68 applications and the accompanying report must be completed and submitted via the online NSW Planning Portal.
