Sewer Easement at Rear - Land for Townhouse Development

Page 1 of 1
Hi all
Wanted to ask you all a question regarding a sewer easement running along the rear of property.

The property is R3 in Cumberland Council (NSW). Allows for townhouse development, but does anyone have any experience or knowledge with the easement at the back? Will this be an issue? Or council generally allows to build over it?
Hey akky Welcome to the forum
You'll need to pay to have an initial assessment done on a rough plan.
Goodluck

in vic, the following applies

The following CANNOT be built over these types of assets:
• Residential house/habitable structure, commercial/industrial building;
• Swimming pool either in ground or above ground;
• Tennis courts;
• Trees of any species

The following CAN be built over these types of assets with certain CONDITIONS:
• Non habitable structure (ie: shed, garage, carport);
• Driveways;
• Fences;
• Excavation/fill;
• Retaining walls;
• Other utility services (ie: power, telephone, gas);
• Water tanks up to 5000L

your local water authority would be able to answer your question if they don't have something online.
