Septic Tank Lids, Access Covers and Replacement Parts

Old concrete septic tank lids crack, wear at the edges, or go missing, and an unsecured lid is a genuine safety risk on a rural property. We supply concrete septic tank lids and access covers as replacement parts, along with inlet and outlet fittings and pumps. If you are replacing a lid on an existing tank, measure the opening and call the office on (07) 4151 5969, since older tanks vary and we cast to suit.

Council Approval in Queensland

In Queensland you need approval from your local government before installing an on-site sewerage facility, under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2018, and the work must be carried out by a licensed plumber. Councils set their own requirements for things like system type, setback distances and servicing, so requirements vary depending on where your property is. Check with your local council and your plumber before ordering so the tank you buy suits what they will approve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need council approval for a septic tank in Queensland?
Yes. Under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2018 you must get approval from your local government before installing an on-site sewerage facility in Queensland, and the installation must be done by a licensed plumber. Councils set their own requirements for system type, setbacks and servicing, so check with yours before ordering.

Can you get a replacement lid for a concrete septic tank?
Yes. Bundaberg Concrete Casters supplies concrete septic tank lids and access covers as replacement parts, including for older tanks. Openings on older tanks vary, so measure yours and call (07) 4151 5969 with the dimensions and we will confirm what will fit.

Are concrete septic tanks better than plastic ones?
Concrete septic tanks do not split or crack the way plastic tanks can after a few years, and their weight means they resist floating out of the ground in wet or high water table conditions. Used for rainwater storage, concrete also does not leech chemicals into the water.

What sizes of concrete septic tank are available?
Bundaberg Concrete Casters casts septic tanks in a range of sizes and to custom dimensions. The size you need depends on the number of bedrooms or the load your council requires the system to handle, so call (07) 4151 5969 with your approval details and we will confirm the right tank and lead time.
