Queensland permit applications guidance

Is this the right QLD Form 1?

QLD Form 1 is the Queensland permit work application for plumbing, drainage, and on-site sewerage work. Councils use it to assess permit applications before work starts.

  • Tradie Forms prepares the PDF. It does not decide whether your application is complete.
Who has to complete the QLD Form 1?
Licensed Queensland plumbers, drainers, and applicants lodging permit work on behalf of the owner.
When is it required?
Before starting permit work that needs local government approval for plumbing, drainage, or on-site sewerage.
Where does the completed form go?
Lodge the completed PDF with the relevant local government, with any required plans, reports, consents, fees, and supporting documents. Tradie Forms does not lodge the application for you.
Can I fill it on my phone?
Yes. Tradie Forms walks you through each section on your phone and downloads the official PDF layout when you are ready.
Will this PDF be accepted?
Tradie Forms downloads your answers in the official PDF layout where supported. Always preview and check the completed PDF before sending, lodging, or handing it over. Tradie Forms does not lodge or certify the form for you.

Permit paperwork steals hours from the tools

What slows QLD plumbers down before council accepts the application.

  • Same site and owner details every lodge

    Street address, lot and plan, and owner contact should carry over from your last Form 1 on that job.

  • Yes/No tables buried in a flat PDF

    Permit types, fast-track questions, and soil class grids are easy to miss on a phone PDF viewer.

  • Council wants the PDF in order

    Generic PDF editors do not match the Plumbing and Drainage Regulation 2019 Form 1 field order.

Start a fresh one from the library or pick up a draft where you left off.
