Development proposals must enable unrestricted access to all manholes, lampholes, maintenance shafts and junctions. Where applicable, concrete encasement of the sewer main will be required for the protection of the affected pipe and any associated infrastructure and this includes the relocation of any sewer asset, such as a sewer junction, due to the loss of access.
Please email your proposal to Shoalhaven Water and include the following information, submitted in PDF or JPG format:
- Approved building plans and a site survey plan by a registered surveyor - all levels to Australian Height Datum (AHD).
- Certified engineering plans indicating soil classification and type, and protection requirements of the sewer infrastructure and proposed/existing structure/s in accordance with Council’s Building over Sewer Policy.
Plan checking fees will be invoiced to the applicant on completion of the assessment. Invoice must be paid within 30 days or before the required inspection.
All works relating directly to the sewer infrastructure, as specified in the Development Application Notice and Building over Sewer Approval are required to be carried out in the presence and to the satisfaction of Shoalhaven Water’s inspector.
