Queensland’s Plumbing Regulations
Queensland's plumbing laws were modernised under the Queensland Building Plan to make the system safer, more efficient, and easier to follow - for both professionals and the community. These reforms remain the foundation of plumbing compliance today.
Key Legislation Still in Force:
-
Plumbing and Drainage Act 2018
Replaced the outdated 2002 Act, setting the legal framework for plumbing and drainage work across Queensland.
-
Plumbing and Drainage Regulation 2019
Streamlined and combined earlier regulations into one simpler, modern set of rules.
-
Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code (Version 2024.1)
A single, state-specific code that aligns with national standards. It covers everything from design to maintenance in a clear, consolidated format.
