Re: Encase sewer pre KDR and fencing near manhole 20Sep 12, 2020 6:51 am With our council I knew from past experiences that they would require us to get a stamp on the plans from Sydney Water before lodging the DA. Now they want you to go onto Sydney Waters website and do a water check ( Sydney Water Tap in Assessment ). Any red flags and they will get you to engage a WSC who need a peg-out to ascertain the exact location and depth of the sewer and will then require you to get structural drawings in regard to your driveway similar to my drawings above. Only then after everything has been approved from Sydney Water and stamped as such from the WSC would you be able to lodge the plans with the council. I'm surprised your council haven't asked for this already as it could mean a delay of several months in approving your DA. Your draftee or architect should have known this! I'm pretty sure the cost would be now around $1,500 per lineal m but it will depend on a few factors - ease of access to the area in question, depth of your sewer, slope of the land etc. Just add up your total lineal metres x $1,500 and you should be in the ballpark. If your driveway is 5m wide for instance, add just a little more for clearance say to 5.5m, x $1,500 = $7,500 MGP is who we used https://www.mgp.com.au/services/sydney- ... structure/ and found them to be very good. They do mostly the Northern beaches but with everything being online these days I'm sure it would be just as easy for them to do your job as it would a local area.
