Application to Operate a System of Sewage Management

A recent change now means that Operator Details on a current Approval to Operate – License for a System of Sewerage management cannot be updated. The approval to operate - License for a System of Sewerage Management are not transferable to the new property owner in the event of property sale.

If a property is sold, the new owner must apply for a new approval to Operate a System of Sewage Management, under Section 68 of the Local Government Act 1993  via the NSW Planning Portal. This applies even if the previous approval is still within it's validity period.

New property owners will have 3 months to apply for their Approval to Operate.
