The Process

Important Note:

Before you can build a home on un-sewered land you will need to obtain approval from your local council who will issue the Construction Certificate and your builder can start construction.  Council staff are always willing to give you a general idea of council requirements and any restrictions for your property. 

First you should contact Earthsafe and discuss your plans and the location and number of bedrooms in your proposed new home. 

Our friendly consultants will be pleased to work with you and provide an obligation free quotation to design and install an Earthsafe system to suit your needs. 

If your council requires Earthsafe will recommend an independent consultant who can prepare a wastewater management report for your site

Earthsafe staff will assist you to complete the required application form and lodge with council

When council approves the system you will receive a Determination which sets out the conditions to operate your Earthsafe system

Earthsafe will install your wastewater treatment system, irrigation and arrange for a final council inspection. 

Once the system has been commissioned and passed by Council you will receive a Certificate of Occupancy so you can move into your new home.
