Backflow Prevention Compliance & Testing Requirements
Backflow prevention devices are regulated to protect drinking water supplies and must be registered, tested, and maintained in accordance with Queensland plumbing regulations.
Under the Standard Plumbing and Drainage Regulation 2003, local councils are required to maintain a register of all testable backflow prevention devices within their area.
Property owners are responsible for ensuring that any installed testable backflow prevention device is:
- Registered with the local council or authorised entity
- Inspected and tested at least once per year by a licensed backflow prevention plumber
Following inspection or testing, the licensed plumber must submit written results to the relevant local authority within 10 business days.
These requirements apply to commercial, public, and high-risk residential properties connected to council water supplies, rainwater tanks, or alternative water systems.

Backflow Prevention – Where to Start
Backflow prevention begins within the property boundary. The primary objective is to isolate potential contamination sources from the town water mains or alternative water supplies such as rainwater tanks.
Any connection where contaminated water could flow back into the drinking water supply must be assessed and protected with an appropriate backflow prevention device.
Examples of potential contamination sources include:
- Fire hose reels (FHR)
- Irrigation systems
- Swimming pools
- Vehicle maintenance pits
- Ornamental ponds and water features
- Air conditioning cooling towers
- Vehicle and bin washing bays
- Chemical injection or dosing areas
Identifying these risks early helps ensure the correct backflow prevention measures are installed and maintained.
