Regulated Systems Microbial Control (Legionella)

Registration of Regulated Systems

It is a legal requirement under the Public Health Act, 1991 and the Public Health (Microbial Control) Regulation 2000 that owners or occupiers of regulated premises where a regulated system is installed notify the Council.  The legislation specifies regulated systems to be:

• Air-handling systems
• Hot water systems
• Humidifying systems
• Warm-water systems
• Water-cooling systems and their associated equipment and fittings.

A dwelling is exempt, unless it has a water cooling system.  A dwelling is defined as a single occupancy dwelling that does not have common property and is not controlled by an owners corporation within the meaning of the Strata Schemes Management Act, 1996.

Further information on legislative requirements on the installation, operation and maintenance of regulated systems may be obtained on NSW Health’s website.
