As part of law reforms regulating plumbing in the state, it is now legal for residents to do small plumbing jobs in their own homes.

New legislation allows WA residents in their own home to legally undertake basic DIY plumbing tasks for the first time since 2000.

"When you start talking about water supply plumbing or sanitary or drainage plumbing systems, it is regulated work that should be done by a licensed plumbing contractor," he said. "You could get an infringement of $1,000 or you could actually be prosecuted for doing unlicensed work," he said."Generally, if someone just had a one-off incident where they did some work, we might provide them with a warning notice or something to that effect," he said.

The new legislation also makes it an offence for someone who does not hold a plumbers' licence to advertise or imply that they do.'When the cash flow stops, they go bust': More builders are collapsing and consumers are fighting to fix their homesAs Albanese tips into outrage over the death of an Australian aid worker in an Israeli air strike, Dutton remains unmoved
