NSW Combined Notice

Building Commission NSW

Fill the NSW plumbing and drainage combined notice of work and certificate of compliance on site, then download the four-page Building Commission NSW PDF.

Open this form

The NSW Combined Notice of Work and Certificate of Compliance is used for plumbing and drainage work handled by regional NSW plumbing regulators and for some work that does not require an inspection. The official PDF is published by Building Commission NSW.

Open the form after you confirm this is the right process for the job.

You fill the form once in Tradie Forms. Your entries are mirrored onto all four pages of the downloaded PDF:

1. Notice of Work - regulator's copy
2. Certificate of Compliance - regulator's copy
3. Certificate of Compliance - licensee's copy
4. Certificate of Compliance - owner's copy

Before you start

• Have the property address, lot and DP details, municipality, and owner details ready.
• Have your licence, qualified supervisor, and expiry details ready.
• Know which water supply, sanitary plumbing, or drainage work applies.
• Confirm whether the work is in a regional regulator area or a Building Commission NSW metropolitan inspection area.
• Check the local regulator's notice, inspection, fee and document requirements before work starts.

For regional work, give the Notice of Work to the local plumbing regulator before work begins. For metropolitan work requiring inspection, use the current MyInspections process instead of this PDF.

At a glance

Sections

Work through these in order:

Property and Owner Details

Enter the site address, lot and DP details, municipality, owner name, and owner address.

Use address search on Solo or Team when it appears, or type the address manually. Check rural addresses, lot numbers, and DP numbers carefully because they are hard to fix once the PDF has been handed over.

Licensee's Details

Add the licensee full name, phone, address for notices, qualified supervisor number, licence number, and licence expiry dates.

Save repeat licensee details on Solo or Team. Use the details for the person or business responsible for the work, not just the office contact.

Work of Water Supply

Tick water supply work types, add descriptions, and select the plumbing compliance standard at the bottom of this section.

Only tick work that applies to this job. Add a short description when the checkbox alone would not tell the regulator or owner what was done.

Work of Sanitary Plumbing / Drainage

Tick drainage work types, add descriptions, and select the drainage compliance standard at the bottom of this section.

Leave drainage rows blank when no sanitary plumbing or drainage work was carried out.

Sewerage / Water Service Inspection Fee

Enter the date fee paid, amount, date of commencement, reference number, and estimated completion date.

These details usually come from the council or local regulator payment record. If a field does not apply, leave it blank rather than guessing.

Certificate of Compliance

Complete the Section 11 defective work declaration, work completed date, and contractor signature for the certificate copies on pages 2 to 4.

Sign only after the work is complete and you have checked the declaration against the work on site. A sewer service diagram is a separate document where one is required.

After download

1. Check all four pages, including the owner, licence, work description, dates and signatures.
2. Keep the licensee's copy with the job record.
3. Give the person who arranged the work the correct certificate copy.
4. For regional work requiring inspection, give the local regulator its copies after the final inspection and provide the sewer service diagram as required.
5. Keep any lodgement or inspection reference with the job.

For work that does not require an inspection, the current NSW guidance says a regulator copy is not required. The person who arranged the work still needs the Certificate of Compliance.
