On-site Systems
Unless there is a council sewerage scheme existing or planned for your area, any new septic systems installed into the Rotorua catchment must be of an approved model; otherwise resource consent needs to be obtained.
See the Environment BOP website for systems approved for an installation in the Rotorua Lakes' catchments. All systems shown may be installed elsewhere in the Bay of Plenty; however conventional septic tanks are still permitted in most areas outside Rotorua lake catchments.
