Tradie Forms: complete Queensland Form 19 final inspection certificates on the official PDF layout after the final inspection is done. Capture property, permit, declaration scope, and certification details before handover.

Form 19 is the final inspection certificate for plumbing and drainage work under the PDR. It needs a clear property description, permit details, declaration of scope, and certification block from the issuing authority.

Use the QLD Form 19 template. Related handover guidance sits in the Form 21 final inspection records guide.

What Form 19 is for

Queensland Form 19 is the final inspection certificate for plumbing and drainage work under the Plumbing and Drainage Regulation 2019. It records the inspection outcome and supports council or public entity records.

Use the Business Queensland plumbing forms page as the official forms reference.

Details to collect before you export

Property and permit

Add the street address, lot and plan details, and local government area. Match the permit number and permit issue date to the active permit paperwork.

Declaration scope

State whether the certificate covers all or part of the permitted work. If only part of the work is covered, describe the work covered clearly enough for the permit file.

Certification

Record the inspection date, certificate number, issuing authority, and issue date. These details are what the office and council will search for later.
