Websites for plumbers working between Caloundra and Coolum, up into the hinterland and across into Noosa. Pages for owners holding a leak alert from their new digital meter, servicing for treatment plants under either council, and a call button that never scrolls off a phone screen.
Two councils, one water utility and a meter change that began in early 2026: the coast gives plumbers some calls that look the same everywhere and some that only happen here. The site should make the local ones easy to find.
Unitywater’s new digital meters log use every day and flag a probable leak when the lowest hourly flow, multiplied by 24, tops 500 litres a day for two days running. The alert goes to the owner by text or email, and fixing their side of the meter is up to them. A section headed “Got a leak alert?” that explains how you find hidden leaks meets them at exactly that moment.
Noosa has been its own council since 2014, with its own plumbing approvals, backflow register and wastewater rules. If you work in Tewantin, Noosaville or Cooroy as well as Maroochydore or Buderim, the site lists both areas by name, so a customer on either side of the line can see you come to them.
Depending on the system, Sunshine Coast Council says on-site systems are serviced anywhere from quarterly to yearly, and each service includes a report submitted to council. A servicing section that asks for the system brand and the last service date, and says whether you lodge the report for them, tells an owner how much of the hassle you take on.
Some older properties drain through a combined sanitary drain: one private pipe shared by two or more lots and running to a single Unitywater connection, mostly built in the 1930s and 40s. Connected owners share the upkeep. If you clear, repair or separate these drains, a short explanation on your drains page gives a puzzled neighbour a reason to ring you.
Bodies corporate and developers who want each unit billed for its own water need sub-meters from Unitywater’s approved list, installed to its specification and inspected before billing starts. If you do that work, a page aimed at strata managers and builders, with a form asking how many units are involved, opens the door to multi-unit jobs.
Sunshine Coast Council puts the annual fee for each registered testable backflow device on the property’s rates notice, and the device still needs a yearly test by an endorsed licensed plumber. A backflow section naming your endorsement, and mentioning the amended Form 9 that council has required since 31 August 2024, shows you know the current paperwork.
A tap-to-call bar at the top, your QBCC licence name and number in the footer, and a short form asking for the suburb, the problem and a photo. Someone with water through a ceiling in Kawana won’t read much further than that.
What most people call the Sunshine Coast is two council areas. Sunshine Coast Council covers the coast from Caloundra and Kawana through Mooloolaba, Maroochydore and Coolum, inland to Buderim, Nambour and the hinterland around Maleny; Noosa Shire, separate again since 1 January 2014, takes in Noosa Heads, Noosaville, Tewantin and Cooroy. Each council handles its own plumbing approvals and keeps its own backflow register, while Unitywater runs the water and sewer networks for both, and for Moreton Bay. The QBCC licence and advertising rules are the same as anywhere in Queensland, and our Brisbane plumbing page sets them out.
The biggest change for plumbers here is the meter. Unitywater has been rolling out digital meters since early 2026, starting where the infrastructure is older and leaks are more common, and the rollout will widen over the next few years. Owners get a letter up to six months before their meter is changed, and another notice shortly before the visit. Once it’s in, leak notifications go to the primary owner, partly, Unitywater says, so that several owners don’t hire several plumbers for one leak. An owner who leaves a notified leak unfixed can’t claim Unitywater’s concealed leak allowance, so the alert gives them a real reason to call someone.
Older housing brings its own drainage. Sunshine Coast Council explains that a combined sanitary drain is shared by two or more properties and runs to one Unitywater sewer connection point. Maintenance falls to the owners of the connected properties, the owner whose land holds a defective section has to fix it, and whoever applies for a separate connection pays for it. Council’s Plumbing Services can help an owner find out about their sanitary drainage, and copies of drainage plans may be available from council records.
Properties off the sewer follow two sets of rules. On the Sunshine Coast side, a licensed site and soil evaluator assesses the block, a licensed drainage contractor installs the system, servicing runs from quarterly to yearly and service reports go to council. Noosa Council says treatment plants are serviced every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on the system, with a report lodged within 10 days of each visit, and recommends pumping out septic tanks every five years. A plumber servicing both areas can set that out once on the site and save owners a phone call.
Sunshine Coast Council counted about 149,000 dwellings in its area in 2021, projects it will need roughly 90,000 more, and expects about 8,000 new residents a year. New homes need connections and hot water systems, and people who have just moved have no plumber yet. We’re an Adelaide team at Hutt St and work with Sunshine Coast businesses by phone and email: you send your services, areas and photos, and we send a draft link you can check on your phone.
Our plumbing client is M.J. Debney Plumbing & Gas in Queensland. Next to it is Phoenix Housekeeping, a New South Wales business whose service area runs across Lake Macquarie, Cessnock and the Central Coast and whose prices are on its site: two things a plumber servicing treatment plants under two councils might want as well.
A licensed Queensland plumber and gas fitter. Its single page lists six services, including hot water, drainage and backflow, with a 13-photo project gallery that swipes on a phone, testimonials, a protected contact form and tap-to-call.

A family-run cleaning business. We built a multi-page site with published pricing, service pages, suburb pages across its service area, a quote form with a discreet call-back option and tap-to-call. A plumber could publish a set price for a routine treatment plant service the same way.

For larger businesses: pages for leak detection, drains and shared drains, hot water, backflow, on-site systems and unit sub-metering, plus one for Noosa.
If you do leak detection, yes. As the digital meters reach more streets, more owners will get a text or email saying their meter shows a constant flow, and they’ll want someone who can find a leak they can’t see. A short section that uses the wording they’ve just read, next to your call button, meets them there. We keep it factual and leave out any promise about savings.
With one servicing section that names both councils. Owners mostly want to know three things: that you service their brand of system, when it’s due, and whether you send the report to council for them. Noosa wants treatment plant reports within 10 days of a visit, and Sunshine Coast Council takes them online, by email, by post or in person, so if you handle that, it’s worth a line.
It’s a private drain shared by two or more properties that runs to a single Unitywater connection point, and most were built in the 1930s and 40s. When one blocks, neighbours often don’t know whose problem it is. If you clear or separate shared drains, a paragraph on your drains page saying so, and noting that council’s Plumbing Services can help an owner check their drainage, is useful for an older-home owner to find.
No. We’re an Adelaide team at Hutt St, working with businesses Australia-wide by phone and email, and our current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD, including M.J. Debney Plumbing & Gas in Queensland. You send details and photos from the job, we send a draft link, you ask for changes until it’s right, and you pay once you approve it. If you don’t go ahead, you owe nothing.
Yes, if you’re comfortable publishing them. A set price for a standard treatment plant service or a backflow test answers the first question many owners have. If a price changes later, send us the new figure: text changes on existing pages are part of the $30 monthly hosting, and new pages are quoted first.
Tell us which side of the Noosa boundary you work, the jobs you want more of and your licence details, and send a few job photos. We’ll quote first, and you pay nothing until you approve the draft.
