# QLD Form 1 (/docs/form-guides/plumbing/qld/qld-form-1-permit-work) **QLD Form 1** is used to apply for permit work for plumbing, drainage, and on-site sewerage work in Queensland. Tradie Forms follows the form section order and maps your answers to the PDF layout. [Open the form](/forms/qld-form-1-permit-work) when you have the plans and supporting documents ready. ## Before you start [#before-you-start] Have these ready: * Site street address, lot, plan, tenancy, level, and local government area * Permit work type and proposed work details * NCC building class and building description * Sewered-area and fast-track answers * Soil classification and supporting reports where needed * Fixture counts and water supply details * On-site sewerage or greywater details if relevant * Owner and applicant contact details * Signature and declaration date Permit work needs a permit before it starts. Local governments can require supporting documents with the application, depending on the building class and proposed work.

Download it and lodge it with the relevant local government. 3. Include the required plans, reports, consents, fee and other supporting documents. 4.

It does not lodge the application, issue the permit or confirm that permit work can start. ## Description of Land [#description-of-land] Use this section to identify the land covered by the application. ### What to enter [#what-to-enter] * **Street address:** full site address * **Lot and plan:** details from title documents, rates notice, survey plan, or development paperwork * **Shop / tenancy / level:** fill these when the work is in a tenancy, unit, or multi-level building * **Local government area:** council area responsible for the application ### Tips [#tips] On Solo or Team, use address search to start the address, then check the manual fields. Address search will not always know lot, plan, tenancy, or level details. ### Before download [#before-download] Check the site details against the permit paperwork and any plans you are lodging. ## Permit Application [#permit-application] Use this section to say what kind of permit work is being applied for. ### What to enter [#what-to-enter-1] * Tick each permit work type that applies * Describe the proposed plumbing, drainage, or on-site sewerage work * Include enough detail for council to understand the scope * Note any parts of the work that are staged or limited ### Tips [#tips-1] Match the wording to the plans and supporting documents you will lodge. If the work includes water supply and drainage, make sure both are covered. ### Before download [#before-download-1] Check that the selected work type matches the actual scope and the documents attached to the application. ## Building Classification [#building-classification] Enter the National Construction Code building class for the building or structure. ### What to enter [#what-to-enter-2] * Select the class or classes that apply * Add the building or structure description * Use the same class shown in building approval, plans, or project documents where available ### Tips [#tips-2] Different supporting documents can apply to different building classes.

Check the application requirements for the job and building class. ### Before download [#before-download-4] Do not guess the soil class. Use the report or confirm before lodging. ## Fixtures to Be Installed [#fixtures-to-be-installed] Use this section to count the fixtures to be installed. ### What to enter [#what-to-enter-5] * Enter the number beside each fixture type being installed * Use zero or leave blank only where the form and your workflow allow it * Use the comments section for unusual fixtures or context ### Tips [#tips-5] Count from the plans and scope, not memory.
