Locating a Septic System

If you are planning on renovating or maintaining your Septic Tank System, you will need to know its location. Complete this application and we will search for copies of existing Septic Tank plans and permits for your property.

 

Apply for copies of Septic Tank plans

Step 1.Complete and lodge the application form

Complete the online application form.

Please note: A search fee is payable for each search required which is to be paid with the application. The fee is imposed for attempting to locate any applicable documents irrespective of whether anything is found (this is a non-refundable search fee).

  • Copies of documents will only be available to the current owner of the land or a person having written consent of the owner (a Contract of Sale will not be accepted).
  • One (1) set of plans per application will be provided.

Apply online

Step 2.Shire officers will retrieve your plans

Unless the system has had a permit fairly recently, it is likely the records of your permit are kept off site. A copy of the plans will be retrieved and checked by an officer before being sent to you. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for the processing of this application.

For urgent requests, you can contact the Environmental Health Team at 5950 1373 or via email at septics@mornpen.vic.gov.au.

Step 3.A copy of the plans will be emailed to you

The material will be emailed to you; please check the email you enter carefully and keep an eye on your spam folder.
