    • 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.
