On-Site Sewage Management Systems

Last modified: October 23, 2009 - 8:46 PM

If you live in an area where centralised sewerage is not available, the management of wastewater is an important process. To protect the health of the individual, family and the community generally, all human and domestic wastes must be disposed of safely and without nuisance. It must also be disposed of in a way not likely to harm the environment.

There are a number of different treatment and disposal options; all require regular maintenance and operational knowledge by you as the owner. All wastewater from your premises needs to be treated and disposed of, this includes waste from toilets, showers, hand basins, laundry and kitchen.

Under the provisions of the Local Government Regulation 1999, Council can not approve of the installation of certain sewage management facilities unless they have been accredited by the NSW Department of Health. A full list of of accreditated facilities is available from the NSW Department of Health website.
