Browse Forums Building Standards; Getting It Right! 1 Jul 30, 2010 11:46 am Hi Everone, After months and months of planning, signing/paying council & geting all work permits including Sydney Waterboard Sewerage approved! for our dream home , Masterton's Santorini MK2 job released on the 20th July 2010 we get a shock call from Masterton telling us their site engineer has spotted that we may have a sewer Easement in our backyard and further stoppages and investigation have to take place and our already planned Slab for the 9/8/2010 will be delayed. How can this happen? We had all necessary peg-outs done. We and all involved new of the sewerage line running across our yard and a planned encasement is planned so surely they would of known? Surely if the Waterboard has approved the permit we can still build over it? This has really guttered us!! I haven't slept in days. I would really appreciate your help and advice. Regards Sam/Trish You should be able to encase the sewer but you will need it designed and approved and access to lot 580 to do the work 2 17113 You might be able to apply to divert the sewer at your expense. In NSW you would contact a Water services co-ordinator and they would give you advice as to whether or not… 1 16127 Thanks - yea sounds like I need to submit build over easement application....ugh guess I better start finding someone who can do the engineering drawings 3 3324 |
