Everything Queensland property owners need to know — from council approval to installation, maintenance & upgrades.

💧 Thinking About Installing a Septic or HSTP System in Queensland?
Whether you're:
Building a new home 🏡
Adding a granny flat or second dwelling
Living on acreage without town sewer
Replacing or upgrading an old wastewater system
👉 You’re going to need a reliable, council-approved on-site sewage solution — and we’re the experts who get it done fast, right, and compliant. Difference Between a Septic System and an HSTP?
🔸 Septic Systems
Basic treatment + soil absorption
🔸 Home Sewage Treatment Plants (HSTPs)
Advanced treatment → effluent can be reused (e.g. surface irrigation)
Compact and eco-friendly
Systems like Ozzi Kleen, Taylex, AquaNova, and BioCycle are common
✅ We install both — and help you choose the best option.
Do You Need Council Approval?
YES. You legally can’t install or modify a wastewater system in Queensland without council approval.The process includes:
Plumbing Form submissions
Soil percolation testing
Onsite wastewater report
Site plan & system design
Compliance with the QLD Plumbing & Wastewater Code
💼 Statewide Wastewater takes care of the entire process for you.
