How to apply to install a wastewater system

Application to Construct or Install an Apparatus for the Treatment of Sewage Checklist

Application to Construct or Install an Apparatus for the Treatment of Sewage

Approved Wastewater Systems - Department of Health (DOH)

Servicing Wastewater Systems - Department of Health (DOH)

The Shire of Chittering does not have reticulated sewerage in any of its localities, thus all property owners are required to apply to the Shire to install a system suitable for their location. The Shire's Principal Environmental Health Officer can advise you on what system you require for your property. Once you have chosen a contractor or provider for a system, you can lodge an Application to Construct or Install an Apparatus for the Treatment of Sewage.

If it is intended that the proposed apparatus will handle less than 540L per day of wastewater OR the building to be serviced is a single dwelling, the Shire of Chittering will process your application. If the wastewater volume generated is more than 540L per day and the building being serviced is not a single dwelling the Shire of Chittering will assess your application, prepare a local government report and forward the application to Department of Health (DOH).

If you are still unsure and would like further information, please contact the Principal Environmental Health Officer on 9576 4600 or email chatter@chittering.wa.gov.au.
