Minor works are considered more complex works and must be performed under an agreement with Gippsland Water.

Where minor works are required on our assets, an accredited contractor may make an application, however an accredited consultant may be better placed to manage this process and submit the required as constructed information. Minor works can include water main tee removals, replacement tees for fire services, fire plug installation/replacements or short main extensions. Minor sewer works such as lowering manholes or short sewer main extensions are also possible via a minor works agreement. The process is outlined on the minor works flowchart on this webpage.
