Connection to Services
Hono atu ki ngā whakaratonga
Find out how to request a new connection to Council services such as water, piped sewer (wastewater), stormwater systems, or how to request a driveway be connected from your property to a road.
Quick links
The following information is relevant to a property in its current state or to proposed building work and can be for a permanent or temporary connection to these services.
-
-
Where new council wastewater (sewers) will be installed in a road that previously did not have it, and QLDC requires connection to it. The property currently has a septic tank system.
-
Where a small subdivision is taking place on a property, and the property owner or developer is managing the build.
-
Where there is no 'lateral' connection in existence from the sewer to the property boundary.
-
-
-
If a developer/agent is managing or undertaking the building work on behalf of the property owner. They will usually do the application.
-
In a large new subdivision or residential development, the developer will usually be arranging connections on behalf of the owners, including for the first properties to be built in a staged development.
-
How do I apply?
If you'd like to apply for a connection to water, wastewater and/or stormwater, then please use the below form. This form should also be used if proposing a driveway that will cross council property to connect with a road.
If services are requested for more than one property, then each requires a separate application.
Once an application is entered into the QLDC system, a unique identifier will be assigned starting with CC e.g. CC180001.
Email the completed application to:
Where is mapping of water services found?
