WBBUWA Design and Construction Code

The Wide Bay Burnett Urban Water Alliance (WBBUWA) previously known as the Wide Bay Burnett Regional Organisation of Councils (WBBROC) Design and Construction Code has been developed to be applied to new developments and is to be used in parallel with Councils appropriate planning schemes. The WBBUWA Code is a collaborative effort between the service providers and has been under development for a number of years.

The WBBUWA Code is governed by an overarching ‘charter’ which can be located below in the Code Documents area. The charter specifies how Governance, Meetings and Strategic direction of the WBBUWA Code will occur. Each Service Provider has a handful of representatives that sit on the WBBUWA Code group and are the main point of contact for each service provider. A list of current contacts can be found below.

The core of the WBBUWA code are the National Codes developed by WSAA. The National Codes have been widely adopted by WSAA members and associates for the urban water industry and are continuously reviewed to ensure best practice approaches are achieved. The WBBUWA amendments listed below are to be read in conjunction to the WSAA National Codes.
