What the Application For Sewer Drainage Diagram is for
A sewer drainage diagram shows the sewerage drainage lines on a property. Orange City Council says it is needed for conveyancing when a house is sold, and the NSW Government's selling guide lists a drainage diagram among the documents a contract for the sale of land must contain. This form (updated 29 June 2026) asks the council to issue the diagram for a property, with standard processing within 4-7 working days or urgent processing within 15 working hours for an extra fee.
