STEP 3: COUNCIL

What to expect from us

When processing your application we will:

  • check for approved engineering plans
  • determine the cost of the proposed works
  • provide a quote for you to review and accept
  • send you an invoice
  • create a work(s) order for the work to be undertaken.

We will aim to complete the work within 8 weeks of receipt of payment.

A site visit may be required, and an invoice for the New Connection Application and Processing Fee and the connection work will be sent to the nominated person or company once the application has been approved.

Full payment is required before connections are made.Connections will not be made until Development Contributions (where applicable) have been paid in full, except in very limited circumstances.

If any changes to the connections are made as a result of information not supplied to Council in the application or on the approved plan, the applicant will need to cover these additional costs.

All quotes provided are valid for 30 days, and you may need to pay an increased fee if your payment is made after the 30-day period.
