Are you lucky enough to live in the peaceful town of Mount Tamborine?
If you’ve got a picturesque patch of property in the serene spot that’s not connected to a municipal sewage treatment network, you’ll need a Home Sewage Treatment Plant (HSTP).
Mount Tamborine and surrounds falls into the Scenic Rim local government area, so residents here will have to abide by their regulations for installation and maintenance of their HSTP which we cover below.
On-site Sewerage Facility Requirements in the Scenic Rim
The Scenic Rim Regional Council says, when it comes to on-site sewerage facilities (OSFF), it performs regulatory functions regarding:
- New installations of on-site sewerage systems,
- Additions to existing systems,
- Effluent run-off complaints,
- List of licensed service persons,
- List of site and soil evaluators and
- Maintains a register of on-site sewerage systems.
It also states that the property owners are responsible for ensuring maintenance is carried out on their system in accordance with the treatment plant approval documents.
More information about maintenance can be found on their website here, or within their fact sheet here.
