A heatwave warning has been issued by the Bureau of Meteorology until Saturday 23 November. Visit the Bureau of Meteorology website for more information.

An easement is an area of land on your property that council and other authorities are allowed to access.

Before building or landscaping check if:

If possible, change your plans so that the building works do not block or cover the easement. You can't build over an access pit.

If you can't change your plans, submit a building over easement application. 

With your application you need to include:

  • your building over easement plans
  • a current Copy of title (no more than 28 days old); you can get this from Landata
  • payment of the required $424 fee.

Submit an application

We will get back to you with one of the following:

  • approval of your proposed development
  • a request to change your designs for building over easement approval
  • an explanation of why we can't approve your proposed development.
