If you’re connecting a new property to the existing water, sewerage or recycled water network, you’ll need to pay a customer contribution fee for the connection.

We apply these charges for any new property (separately titled or is, or can be, individually metered) connecting to the existing water, sewerage or recycled water network.

For new developments or subdivisions, we apply a separate charge to each service that we provide to each newly created lot. Where an existing lot has not previously received a prescribed service, a scheduled charge can be applied to that lot in relation to each new prescribed service.

New customer contributions may be levied by:
  • applying an approved scheduled charge (see table below); or
  • seeking a charge in addition to the approved scheduled charge (Incremental Financing Cost).

In recognition of the amount of capacity required to service each connection where a new non-residential lot is created, that is 25mm water connection or greater, the NCC’s (water, sewer and recycled water) payable will be the multiple of the application NCC and the number of equivalent 20mm connections.
