    Local Plumbing Regulators in NSW On-Site Plumbing and Drainage Compliance and Inspections

    Local plumbing regulators in NSW On-site plumbing and drainage compliance and inspections This document outlines who performs the functions of the plumbing regulator in NSW. Under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2011 NSW Fair Trading is the plumbing regulator in New South Wales. The Plumbing Code of Australia is the technical standard for compliance throughout NSW. It is the responsibility of the plumbing regulator in each area to set requirements for inspections of on-site plumbing and drainage. Fair Trading’s area of operation includes all areas in which properties are provided with services (either drinking water, recycled water or a sewerage service) by Sydney Water Corporation or Hunter Water Corporation. This area of operation stretches from Gerringong in the south (the Illawarra), to Newcastle, Port Stephens and Dungog in the north (the Hunter), and west to Mount Victoria (Blue Mountains). The function of the plumbing regulator has been delegated by Fair Trading to local councils, county councils, or other qualified bodies. The delegation of the function has been accepted by local and county councils across NSW, with a small number of exceptions where the council declined the delegation. Below are two tables identifying the local authority for plumbing regulator functions, including conducting inspections, throughout NSW by local government area. Please Note: Onsite plumbing and drainage work does not include stormwater, fire suppression; work on network utility assets or roof plumbing. If you are a plumber or drainer in regional

    2011 the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital

    2011 THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY ELECTRICITY FEED-IN (LARGE SCALE RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION) BILL 2011 SUPPLEMENTARY EXPLANATORY STATEMENT Presented by Simon Corbell MLA Environment and Sustainable Development 1 Authorised by the ACT Parliamentary Counsel—also accessible at www.legislation.act.gov.au SUPPLEMENTARY EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR GOVERNMENT AMENDMENTS These Government amendments are minor and technical in nature (refer to Assembly Standing Order 182A). OVERVIEW These amendments will strengthen an already important Bill and provide additional flexibility to pursue a range of renewable energy technologies and locations into the future, while allowing each release to be effectively targeted to reach optimal outcomes. AMENDMENT 1: Amendment to Clause 5 The first amendment amends clause 5(a) to change the first object of the Bill to now refer to the promotion of the establishment of large scale renewable energy generation in the Australian Capital Region (rather than ‘in and around the ACT’). This amendment provides parameters around where a large renewable energy generator can be located. AMENDMENT 2: Amendment to Clause 6(1) The second amendment amends the capacity component of the definition of a large renewable energy generator. The capacity of a large renewable energy generator will now be defined as ‘more than two hundred kilo-watts’. However, the Minister may, with each release of capacity set a higher threshold for the capacity of a large renewable energy generator’ s generating system, appropriate for each specific release. AMENDMENT 3: Amendment to Clause 10, inclusion of a new clause 10(2A) The third amendment insert a new sub-clause into clause 10 that gives the Minister the power, when releasing FiT capacity under the Bill, to state the minimum capacity of a large renewable energy generator’ s generating system for the purpose of that FiT capacity release.
