Is this the right QLD Form 5?

QLD Form 5 is the testing or commissioning report for plumbing and drainage work where the local government accepts a report instead of carrying out an inspection. Queensland publishes the official PDF under the Plumbing and Drainage Regulation 2019.

Who has to complete the QLD Form 5?
The competent person who carried out testing or commissioning, with the responsible person named on the permit giving the report to local government.
When is it required?
After testing or commissioning plumbing or drainage installations where Form 5 is accepted as the inspection alternative for the permit. Check current Queensland and local government requirements.
Where does the completed form go?
The competent person gives the report to the responsible person within 5 business days. The responsible person gives it to local government within 10 business days after testing or commissioning. Tradie Forms does not lodge the report 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.

Testing paperwork scatters after the gauges are packed away

What slows QLD plumbers down after commissioning is done.

  • Same site and permit details every job

    Street address, permit number, and responsible person contact should carry over from your last Form 5 on that site.

  • Installation dates buried in a flat PDF

    Water, drainage, and pressure test rows 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 5 field order.
