Hydraulic Services Unit
The Hydraulic Services Unit of Townsville City Council provides assessments of plumbing and drainage applications and inspections in pursuant to the state government regulations and the Plumbing & Drainage Act 2002.
Generally; plumbing and drainage that is owned by the property owner and within the boundaries of owner’s property, is assessed under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2002 by the Hydraulic Services Unit. Alterations to council owned water; sewerage or stormwater services require approval and assessment from other sections of council.

Preparation of Drainage Plans, On-site Sewerage Facilities Designs and As-Constructed Plans
The Hydraulic Services Unit Design Section no longer prepares drainage design plans or commercial as-constructed drawings. There are a number of locals companies that provide this service and can be found under Drafting Services in the Yellow Pages.
However, we provide the following professional services at a competitive price.
- Preparation of on-site sewerage facility designs/reports;
- Conduct physical inspections (report provided) of the condition of plumbing and drainage located at premises. (Pre sale inspection);
- Supply a consultancy service for plumbing and drainage designs.
- More information is available on the Hydraulic Services Unit - Design Section page
