The Ultimate Guide to Septic Systems & HSTPs in Queensland (All Brands & Services)

By Statewide Wastewater – QLD’s Complete Wastewater Experts

If your property isn’t connected to the council sewerage network, you need a reliable on-site wastewater system to keep your home compliant, your family safe, and your property protected.

Whether it’s a traditional septic tank or a modern Home Sewage Treatment Plant (HSTP), choosing the right system – and maintaining it – can save you thousands in repairs and keep you on the right side of council regulations.

At Statewide Wastewater, we install, service, and repair all major septic and HSTP brands in Queensland, including:

• Ozzi Kleen

• Taylex

• Biocycle

• Aqua Nova

• Fuji Clean

• BioSeptic, Septech, Earthsafe and more

This is your complete guide to everything you need to know about septic systems and HSTPs in Queensland.

What is the Difference Between Septic Systems & HSTPs?

• Traditional Septic Systems:

  • Wastewater flows into a septic tank

  • Solids settle at the bottom, while liquid effluent flows to a land application area

  • Requires regular pump-outs 
    

• Home Sewage Treatment Plants (HSTPs):

  • Fully treat household wastewater to irrigation quality

  • Require quarterly servicing instead of frequent pump-outs

  • Council-preferred for environmental compliance
    

Popular HSTP Brands in QLD:

• Ozzi Kleen

• Taylex

• Biocycle

• Aqua Nova

• Fuji Clean

Do You Need a Septic System or HSTP in Queensland?

You’ll need a system if:

• You’re building a new home, shed, or granny flat

• Your property is rural or semi-rural without sewerage

• Your old septic tank is failing or non-compliant

Councils across QLD are pushing for HSTPs over old septic tanks because they:

• Reduce environmental impact

• Require less land

• Keep groundwater and waterways cleaner

Queensland Council Approval & Compliance

We manage all council applications and approvals for:

• Toowoomba & Lockyer Valley

• Somerset & Scenic Rim

• Moreton Bay & Caboolture

• South Burnett & Nanango

• Sunshine Coast Hinterland & Doonan

Tip: Most QLD councils now require HSTPs for new builds and may request old septic tanks be replaced to stay compliant.
