Hi guys,
I'm looking to build a permanent Alfresco on the side of my townhouse. It will be undercover with a tiled roof and I basically would like to deck it out with an area equipped for a BBQ including rangehood and a sink for food preparation.
Unfortunately a main sewer pipe runs through my property and I have been told by South East Water that I am able to build the Alfresco however, I will need to remove the BBQ/kitchen from the design otherwise it will not be approved. Apparently, they do not allow for a sink to be build within close proximity of an easement. Does anybody know what the reasoning for this is?
Can anybody give me suggestions for an alternative as i am not able to plumb a sink near the main sewer pipe?

Hi Pedestrian,
If you are building over an easement, which it seems you are, then buildings in that situation must be class 10 I think. Verandahs, and sheds and carports are OK but not habitable rooms I think. Hope this helps,
