What Are The Minimum Requirements For Charging Tenants For Water?
Landlords and rental property owners can only charge tenants for water consumed by providing:
- the rental property has an individual water meter
- the rental property has been certified as water-efficient and had a Water Efficiency Certificate issued
- the signed tenancy agreement specifically states that the tenant must pay for all water consumed
What Gold Coast Water Charges Can a Tenant Be Billed For?
When you receive your property’s quarterly Gold Coat Water bill, there are several charges on the bill, which are:
- Sewerage Acces Charge – Fixed Access Charge of $739.32: tenants cannot be charged this cost as it is an annual access fee to connect to the sewer system
- Water Service – Fixed Access Charge of $290.00: tenants cannot be charged this cost as it is an annual access fee to connect to the water distribution system
- Water Consumption will indicate how many kilolitres have been consumed at $1.38 per kilolitre, and the tenant is responsible for paying this charge.
- State Bulk Water Price – this will show how many kilolitres have been consumed at $3.444 per kilolitre, and the tenant is responsible for paying this charge.
What Fixtures Does An Efficiency Certificate Cover?
For Whywait Plumbing to issue your rental property with a water efficiency certificate to certify the property is water efficient, the following fixtures are required to be:
- The rental property has an individual water meter
- all internal cold water taps, including mixer taps, must be WELS compliant with a maximum flow rate of 9 litres per minute
- all showerheads are to be WELS compliant with a maximum flow rate of 9 litres per minute
- all toilets are dual flush with a maximum full flush of 6.5 litres and a maximum half flush of 3.5 litres
- the bath tap does not need to meet these requirements, nor do outside hose taps, washing machine taps or dishwasher taps
Upgrading Plumbing Fixtures To Efficiency Certificate Standard

- installation of WELS-compliant taps, spouts and showerheads
