Planning to build on a property without access to mains sewer? You will likely require a Land Capability Assessment.
An LCA determines whether your land can safely and effectively manage wastewater onsite.
When is an LCA required?
- No mains sewer available
- Septic or wastewater system required
- Council planning or building permit requirement
Why is it important?
An LCA ensures your site can manage wastewater without causing:
- Environmental impacts
- Groundwater contamination
- System failure
It also determines the most suitable wastewater system for your site and is required for council approval.
What’s involved?
- Site inspection and soil testing
- Assessment of slope, drainage and site conditions
- Evaluation of wastewater disposal options
- Preparation of a formal report for council submission
What do you receive?
A clear, site-specific report outlining:
- Suitable wastewater system
- Recommended disposal method
- Information required for council approval
