  • 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

  • Red Guide Posts – Riverina and Central Western NSW
    Red Guide Posts – Riverina and Central Western NSW COUNCIL NAME Overview Greater Hume Shire The Red Guide Posts are a simple system to assist in reducing the spread of high risk invasive Council vegetation species (weeds) along roadsides. WEB ADDRESS The concept has been developed through a collaboration with Eastern Riverina Noxious Weeds greaterhume.nsw.g Advisory Group (ERNWAG), Western Riverina Noxious Weeds Advisory Group (WRNWAG), ov.au Lachlan Valley Weeds Advisory Committee (LVWAC), Macquarie Valley Weeds Advisory Committee (MVWAC), Riverina & central west Local Control Authorities (LCAs), Local Land Services (LLS) and Roads and Maritime Services (RMS). It involves the installation of red guide posts at the 'start' and 'end' of each weed infestation. The red guide posts identify the site and an extensive awareness campaign will advise that works are not to be undertaken between the posts without the local weed officer’s permission. Photo: Red Guide Posts image from flyer Background ERNWAG & WRNWAG were formed in 1989 and 1997 respectively to encourage the formulation of common noxious weed control policies and liaison between authorities. The two groups – collectively known as Riverina Weeds – comprise all key stakeholders involved in weed management, including 25 Local Control Authorities (LCAs) and 3 Local Land Services (LLS). The Red Guide Post concept was born from a gathering of Riverina agencies discussing the best option for identifying roadside weeds to avoid sites of known noxious weed infestation being slashed or graded and spread. The objective of the project is to increase community acceptance of, and involvement in, effective invasive species management. The Minister for Primary Industries called for new, innovative State Weeds Action Program Projects.
