What Is A Water Efficiency Certificate QLD?
A Water Efficiency Compliance Certificate is issued after a licensed plumber conducts an audit to ensure the property meets the Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) water efficiency standards. To charge a tenant for water usage in QLD, the property must hold an official Water Efficiency Certificate from an accredited plumber.
Our Sunshine Coast Plumbers can provide you with an audit and QLD Water Efficient Certificate from just $121.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Water Efficiency Certificate is valid for as long as the plumbing fixtures in the property remain compliant. However, any significant plumbing changes or upgrades might require a new audit.
If your property doesn’t meet the required standards after the audit, Refined Plumbing can immediately provide a quote and begin necessary upgrades, such as installing flow restrictors, repairing leaks, or getting new internal taps installed.
Water efficiency can also be proven through plumbing fixture receipts, warranties and manuals for showerheads and taps, documentation of plumbing upgrades, and plumbing reports or compliance certificates.
No, only internal taps are measured. Taps supplying washing machines, dishwashers, garden taps, and bathtubs are not required to meet water efficiency standards.
Once you have a Water Efficiency Certificate, you can charge tenants for water consumption, including bulk water delivery, provided your tenancy agreement specifies this responsibility. Your rental property must also be individually metered, and you can only pass on the consumption costs, not the fixed charges.
