TP58 Wastewater Design Expertise

What is TP58?

TP58 — Technical Publication 58 — is the Auckland Council guideline that sets the standard for onsite wastewater management across New Zealand. Originally developed for Auckland, TP58 has been adopted by councils nationwide, including Far North District Council (FNDC), Whangarei District Council (WDC), and Northland Regional Council (NRC). It covers site assessment, soil testing, system selection, hydraulic design, and disposal field sizing for any property not connected to a public sewer.

A TP58 wastewater report is required for building consent on most rural and lifestyle properties in Northland. The report demonstrates that the proposed wastewater system suits the site's soil conditions, slope, groundwater level, and proximity to waterways. Without a compliant TP58 assessment, your building consent application will not be accepted.
