Water & sewerage connections

If you are developing property or undertaking renovations on an existing structure, you may need to connect to our water and sewerage network. Here you will find out information and resources on how to do this.

We have improved services to customers by making the following changes, effective from 1 November 2021:

  • replaced the current risk category table with a new, simpler definition of water and sewerage works
  • introduced an accreditation system which applies to all standard connections.

From 1 November 2021, only accredited contractors appointed by the City can perform standard connections. Registrations for 2022 are now closed. Contact inspections@goldcoast.qld.gov.au for more information.
