Websites for plumbers and drainers who work the City of Moreton Bay, from the Redcliffe Peninsula and North Lakes out to Caboolture and Bribie Island. Your drains section can explain where Unitywater’s pipes begin, septic and backflow work can be set out for the owners who need it, and your number stays one tap away on a phone.
Between Unitywater, the council and the QBCC, a Moreton Bay homeowner with water where it shouldn’t be often has no idea who to ring. A site that sorts that out in a few plain lines is useful to them, and it saves you driving to jobs that belong to someone else.
If your locator or camera finds the blockage on Unitywater’s side of the property boundary, in pipes it owns, its guidance is to stop work, leave it uncleared and report it, and Unitywater says a crew will assess it within four hours. A short note on your drains section tells a customer you’ll work out whose problem it is before anyone digs.
The water meter belongs to Unitywater, which asks plumbers to report leaks at the meter rather than repair them. One line on your leak detection section, saying a leak at the meter itself is Unitywater’s to fix while anything on the house side is the owner’s, saves a call-out that ends with you handing over a phone number.
Unitywater wants overflow relief gullies set 75 mm above the grass with the ground falling away from the house, and it says stormwater running into the sewer is illegal and has to be fixed by a licensed plumber. If you raise gullies, re-run downpipes or disconnect stormwater from sewer lines, name those jobs, because an owner told to fix a connection needs a plumber who mentions it.
Properties without a sewer connection rely on an on-site system, most often a septic tank or an aerated treatment plant. Council says a licensed service agent should check a septic tank for sludge build-up every three to five years and remove it if needed, and treatment plants should be serviced regularly to the maker’s instructions. A section listing the systems you work on, with a form asking for the brand and the date of the last service, gives those owners somewhere to start.
Every testable backflow device in the region sits on council’s register and needs a yearly test by a plumber with the backflow endorsement. Council sends the renewal notice to the property owner, not to the plumber, so the owner is the one searching. A backflow section naming your endorsement and the device types you test gives them a reason to choose you.
On a phone, your number stays fixed at the top of the screen, and the footer of every page carries the name your QBCC licence is held under and its number. Job photos captioned “gully raised, Deception Bay” or “sewer cleared, Petrie” show a customer you already work near them.
The City of Moreton Bay has close to 500,000 residents across 94 suburbs, and three organisations shape a plumber’s work there. The QBCC licenses you, and our Brisbane plumbing page covers its advertising rules, which apply here unchanged: the name your licence is held under, the licence number and a statement that you’re licensed under the QBCC Act, on your website as well as your van. Council approves and inspects plumbing work, keeps the backflow register and approves on-site sewerage systems. Unitywater runs the water and sewer networks for Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast and Noosa.
Unitywater’s rules are the ones customers know least. When a plumber finds a blockage in Unitywater’s sewer rather than in the private drain, its guidance is to stop work and report it, and it sends a crew to assess within four hours. The plumber, not the customer, can then claim a blocked sewer identification fee from Unitywater, as long as they haven’t tried to clear the blockage or charged the customer for finding it, and the invoice is made out to Unitywater with the job reference it gave. If that’s how you work, your site can say so, and an owner learns that a blockage in the public sewer won’t end up on their bill.
Unitywater has been rolling out digital water meters across Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast and Noosa since early 2026, starting in areas with older infrastructure where leaks are more common, and the network will grow over the next few years. The new meters send daily readings, and owners get an alert when the readings point to a constant leak. Owners fix anything on their side of the meter, so leak detection deserves its own heading; our Sunshine Coast plumbing page goes through what those alerts mean for a plumber’s site.
Not every property is on the sewer. Council defines an on-site sewerage facility as any system that stores, treats and disposes of household wastewater on a property in an unsewered area, and owners need council approval before installing or altering one, including its land application area. In the North Pine catchment, council and Seqwater have run health checks on systems near Rush Creek, Armstrong Creek and Kobble Creek, and Seqwater will offer grants to eligible owners to replace or upgrade them once council has worked out which systems qualify. A plumber or drainer who installs and upgrades these systems can name that work, and those creeks, on the site.
Backflow testing has its own paperwork. Each testable device is registered with council and tested every year by a backflow-endorsed licensed plumber, who sends the Form 9 report to council and to the owner. Council manages the register through the free QR2id app and BackflowID tags, and its renewal year runs from 1 July to 30 June. We’re an Adelaide web design team at Hutt St, working with Queensland businesses by phone and email, so none of this needs a meeting: you send your licence details, endorsements, suburbs and photos, and we send back a draft link to check between jobs.
Our plumbing client is M.J. Debney Plumbing & Gas, a Queensland plumber and gas fitter. Beside it is Simple Engineers from Adelaide, because its quote form takes file uploads: the same set-up lets a Moreton Bay owner send a photo of an overflowing gully or a treatment plant alarm before you quote.
One page takes in six services, from general plumbing, gas and hot water to bathroom renovations, drainage and backflow, then a 13-photo gallery that swipes on mobile, client testimonials, a protected contact form and tap-to-call.

Adelaide structural engineers who design retaining walls, slabs and stormwater systems. We built four service pages, 16 articles, a quote form with fee ranges and file uploads, and tap-to-call. A plumber could use the uploads for photos of the problem and the fee ranges for routine work such as a backflow test.

If that’s how you work, yes. Unitywater lets the plumber, not the customer, claim a fee for identifying a blockage in its sewer, on condition that you haven’t tried to clear it or charged the customer for finding it. You invoice Unitywater and quote the job reference it gives you. We’d put one sentence on your drains section in your own words, and the site only says what you approve.
If you hold the backflow endorsement, usually. Council sends the yearly renewal notice to the property owner, who then needs an endorsed plumber to test each device and lodge the Form 9. A section naming your endorsement, the device types you test and the suburbs you cover gives business owners and property managers something specific to find. On a one-page site it’s a short section; on a 3-page site it can be a page of its own.
Not south of the boundary. In suburbs such as Bracken Ridge or Aspley, the water and sewer network belongs to Urban Utilities, which covers Brisbane, Ipswich, Lockyer Valley, Scenic Rim and Somerset. If you work both sides, we can word the drains section so it names the right utility for each area, or keep it general and say you’ll check on the day.
Yes, if you want that work. People on rural blocks search with their locality name, so a line naming the places you really cover, such as Dayboro or Woodford, helps them see you make the trip. If you charge for travel, a short note saying so avoids a surprise on the invoice. The list can change after launch, since text changes on existing pages are covered by the $30 monthly hosting.
