A registered and licensed plumber must lay stormwater pipe but I have answered queries where a builder or some lackey has done it. For a single dwelling, if the stormwater pipe is not subject to vehicular loading and there is no paving, the pipe must be buried a minimum (from the finished surface at the top of the pipe) to a depth of 100 mm.

For other than a single dwelling, it is 300 mm. 3in1 Supadiverta. Rainwater Harvesting Best Practice using syphonic drainage. Cleaner Neater Smarter Cheaper Supa Gutter Pumper.
