Is this the right QLD Form 3?

QLD Form 3 at a glance

QLD Form 3 is the covered work declaration used when work will be covered before inspection or when an action notice applies.

  • Tradie Forms is not affiliated with the Queensland Government.

What you need to know

Who has to complete the QLD Form 3?
The responsible person or licensed contractor for the plumbing or drainage work covered by the permit.
When is it required?
When work will be covered before inspection or when responding to an action notice under current Queensland and local government rules.
Where does the completed form go?
Provide the completed PDF through the permit and local government process for the job. Tradie Forms does not lodge the declaration for you.
Can I fill it on my phone?
Yes. Tradie Forms guides you through each section on mobile and exports the official PDF layout when you are ready to complete.
Will this PDF be accepted?
Tradie Forms exports onto 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.

Covered work paperwork slows down the inspection call

What slows QLD plumbers down before the council visit.

  • Same site and permit details every job

    Street address, permit number, and responsible person contact should carry over from your last Form 3 on that site.

  • Stage of work easy to miss on a flat PDF

    The nine covered-work checkboxes and work description are buried in a phone PDF viewer.

  • Council wants the PDF in order

    Generic PDF editors do not match the Plumbing and Drainage Regulation 2019 Form 3 field order.
