Will I be made aware that Council intends to inspect my system?

Yes. Prior to the commencement of the program, Council will write to each system owner in advance of a proposed inspection.

Property owners will be given notification in writing of Council’s intention to inspect their on-site sewage management system. If an owner wishes to be present at the time of Council’s inspection, they will be given an opportunity to contact Council and arrange a mutually suitable time for the inspection to take place during regular business hours.

When a Council Officer attends a property and is unable to gain access to the on-site sewage management system or complete an inspection, the property owner will be contacted and a suitable time arranged for the inspection to be completed.
