Text description of figure

The flowchart shows the following process:

  1. A desktop study is carried out by the regional council to identify homeowners that will be required to hold a WOF.
  2. WOF inspections are carried out on properties with on-site systems that are required by the regional council to hold a WOF. The inspection  covers the matters described in section 5.1.1
  3. If the system passes a WOF will be issued and a re-inspection date set for three years time. 
  4. If the system fails the homeowner will be required to fix the problems identified by the inspection within a set time limit.
  5. If the problems are fixed then a WOF will be issued.  This may or may not require a further inspection depending on the reason for the initial failure.
  6. If the problem is not fixed within the time limit or repair or remediation is not possible, then the council will decide the next steps
