What is a Water Efficient Property?
Rental properties are considered water efficient if certain water fixtures meet the standards listed below:
- All internal cold water taps, except those serving a bath, are to deliver a maximum of 9 litres of water, per minute.
- Shower heads are to have a maximum flow rate of 9 litres per minute.
- Toilets are to be dual flush, with the maximum flush volume of the full flush to be 6.5 litres, and the maximum for the half flush being 3.5 litres and a maximum average flush volume of 4 litres (based on the average of 1 full flush and 4 half flushes).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Water Efficiency Certificate?
A Water Efficiency Certificate provides evidence that eligible plumbing fixtures within a property meet Queensland’s minimum water efficiency standards at the time of inspection.
Why might a landlord need a Water Efficiency Certificate?
A landlord may need to demonstrate that a rental property meets the required water efficiency standards before charging tenants for water consumption where permitted under Queensland legislation.
Which fixtures are inspected?
We inspect eligible taps, shower heads, and toilets to determine whether they comply with the applicable water efficiency requirements.
This generally includes internal cold-water taps, excluding bath taps, along with shower heads and toilet flushing systems.
How do you test the flow rate?
The plumber measures the amount of water delivered by the relevant fixture over a set period to determine its approximate flow rate in litres per minute.
Can you upgrade non-compliant fixtures?
Yes. If your property does not meet the required standards, we can install flow restrictors, replace tapware, upgrade shower heads, adjust toilets, or recommend other plumbing improvements to help achieve compliance.
Do all fixtures need to be replaced?
No. Some fixtures can meet the required standard after a flow restrictor, aerator, or other suitable fitting is installed.
We will recommend replacement only where it is the most practical option.
Can you inspect an occupied rental property?
Yes. We can complete inspections at occupied rental properties when suitable access has been arranged with the tenant.
Can you work directly with my property manager?
Yes. We regularly work with landlords, property managers, and real estate agencies to coordinate access, inspections, quotes, upgrades, and certification.
What happens if the property fails the inspection?
We identify the fixtures that do not meet the standard and recommend the required upgrades.
Once the work has been completed, the affected fixtures can be retested before certification is finalised.
Do you provide the required documentation?
Yes. Once your property meets the required standards, we complete the necessary documentation for your Water Efficiency Certificate.
Can you inspect the rest of the property’s plumbing?
Yes. Alliance Plumbing provides professional plumbing inspections in Brisbane for property purchases, maintenance planning, and investigations into leaks, drainage issues, and other plumbing concerns.
Do you provide general plumbing repairs?
Yes. Our team provides comprehensive plumbing services across Brisbane, including fixture repairs, tap replacements, toilet repairs, drainage work, hot water services, and general maintenance.
Do you provide upfront pricing?
Absolutely. We explain what is required and provide transparent pricing before any inspection or upgrade work begins.
