What the Application for Drainage Diagram and Sewer Reference is for
Wingecarribee Shire Council issues two related records. A drainage diagram shows the drainage plumbing inside the property boundary; a sewer reference sheet maps the council's water and sewer assets outside the boundary in relation to the property. Neither covers stormwater. The NSW Government's selling guide lists a drainage diagram among the documents a contract for the sale of land must contain. The council now takes these applications through its online eServices portal; this PDF is version 1.5 (2020).
When you need it
- You are selling a property in Wingecarribee Shire and the contract needs a drainage diagram.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a drainage diagram and a sewer reference sheet?
A drainage diagram shows drainage plumbing inside the property boundary. A sewer reference sheet shows the council's water and sewer assets outside the boundary. Neither shows stormwater.
Why is a drainage diagram needed when selling?
The NSW Government's selling guide lists a drainage diagram among the documents that must be in a contract for the sale of land, so it is ordered from the council when the contract is being prepared. The guide says the contract must be prepared before the property is advertised for sale.
