The Act also introduces a new fast track application approval process for class 1a and 10a buildings subject to conditions.
As a result of the new Act ALL plumbing permit applications submitted from 1 July 2019 must be accompanied by the new ‘Form 1 – Permit work application for plumbing, drainage and on-site sewerage work’.
