Building over and near sewer mains
Referral agency approval for building over or near Council sewer mains
For certain building work over or near relevant infrastructure, Council is the Referral Agency and must give permission. This is in addition to any other building and development approvals.
Relevant infrastructure includes sewers, water mains, storm water drains and combined sanitary drains. Structures built over or near these assets must be assessed against Queensland Development Code Mandatory Part 1.4 (opens as PDF file).
Further details are available in the FNQROC Development Manual Design Guidelines D7 Sewerage System - refer to Design Criteria D7.16 Building over or near sewerage infrastructure.
