QLD legislation requires water efficiency compliance before passing water charges to tenants. We inspect, certify and issue — usually within 48 hours of booking.
Under Queensland tenancy legislation, landlords can only pass on the cost of water consumption to tenants if the rental property meets specific water efficiency standards — low-flow showerheads, dual-flush toilets, and no leaking taps. The certificate is proof.
Every showerhead — flow rate measured and documented (must be 9 L/min or less)
Every toilet — dual-flush confirmed, cistern not leaking
Every tap — no drips, no slow leaks, flow rates checked
General plumbing condition — any visible leaks or compliance issues flagged
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Standard inspection + certificate (single property) | $145 |
| Portfolio rate (5+ properties, same PM/owner) | $110 each |
| Compliant showerhead replacement (if needed) | $65 fitted |
| Toilet replacement to dual-flush | Quoted on site |
If something fails, we quote on the spot and can usually fix it same visit. No separate call-out fee.
A document issued by a licensed plumber confirming your rental property meets QLD water efficiency standards — low-flow showerheads, dual-flush toilets, no leaking taps. Required before a landlord can legally pass water usage charges to a tenant.
No formal expiry, but any plumbing change requires a fresh one. Best practice is to re-certify at every tenancy change or every 24 months.
Your tenant can refuse to pay. If they take it to QCAT, you'll lose. You may also have to refund any charges already collected.
