3.02 Works in roads
Where works associated with the Connection Application results in works to be carried out in
a publicly controlled place, e.g. roads, it is the Applicant’s responsibility to gain the

Section 7
Use limitations for private fire hydrant booster pumps directly connected to Unitywater’s
3.04
water supply network
Unless permitted by this water approval, the use of private pressure boosting pumps for fire
flow purposes that are proposed to connect directly to Unitywater’s water supply mains may
not be permitted by Unitywater. Enquire with Unitywater’s Development Services team prior
to lodging a connection approval application to ascertain the appropriate requirements in
relation to a proposal to directly connect pressure boosting pumps to the water supply
network.
Unitywater does not take any responsibility for the performance of the water supply network
required by the Developer in its demonstration of compliance with QFES standards for
building fire protection installations including, but not limited to, a fire brigade booster
assembly or a fire hydrant pumpset connected to an internal and external(onsite) fire
hydrant system.
Instead, this is the responsibility of the Developer and its representatives, such as a
(suitably experienced and qualified) fire and hydraulic consulting engineer.
To assist the Developer and its representatives in its determination of suitability of the
proposed direct fire pumpset connection and fire hydrant system to meet QFES
requirements, Unitywater offers a service that provides outputs of modelled network
performance at the site property boundary. A link to ‘Application for Hydraulic Model
Pressure and Flow Information - F8578 ‘ can be found on Unitywater’s webpage:

The Water and Sewerage Services Code for Small Customers in South East Queensland
and the Unitywater’s Customer Service Standard specify the level of service for Unitywater’s
water supply and sewerage services.
3.07 Other services
It is the Applicant’s responsibility to acquire the necessary approvals from the relevant
authority or service provider to alter or relocate their service.
3.08 Other approval requirements and compliance with all laws
This approval only authorises the connection to Unitywater’s infrastructure. This approval
does not remove the need for other approvals in order to carry out the necessary work for
the development.
For example, the Applicant should consider the need to comply with relevant standards and
obtain approvals for impacts arising from sediment and erosion control, flora and fauna and
traffic/roads, including traffic management etc.
The Applicant is responsible for obtaining all necessary approvals for its development and
complying with all laws including all environmental laws.
3.10 No works authorised

accordance with the South East Queensland Water Supply and Sewerage Design and
Construction Code, Unitywater’s Connections Administration Manual, or Unitywater’s
Accreditation and Certification Manual, and any other matter Unitywater considers to be
relevant to the connection or establishment of its water services or sewerage services.

Section 8
3.13 Third party property
If any infrastructure authorised by this approval is to be constructed on property that is not
owned or controlled by the Applicant, it is the Applicant’s or developer’s responsibility to gain
the necessary consents to install that infrastructure.
3.14 Errors and omissions
This approval shall not be taken to mean that the drawings have been checked in detail,
Unitywater accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the survey information, the design, or
for the accuracy of any information or detail contained in the drawings and specifications.
Where errors or omissions occur in the design drawings or specifications, or where works do
not conform to or meet Unitywater standards, the Applicant shall be responsible for
arranging rectification to comply with those standards at no cost to Unitywater.
Where approved drawings contain insufficient detail, or do not contain details of works that
are either necessary or associated with the development then these works shall be
designed, approved and constructed to Unitywater standards, as required by Unitywater.
Unitywater reserves the right to request amendment of the approved drawings or request
further information should this become necessary. Only the approved drawings shall be
used for construction.
3.15 Existing water meter(s)
The Applicant is advised that if the existing water meter currently serving the property will no
longer be required, an application (Standard Connection Application Request) must be
made to Unitywater to disconnect the meter.
A fee is applicable for the disconnection of services.
Refer to Unitywater Fees and Charges schedule at: Pricing, fees and charges.
3.17 Internal Review and Appeal Rights
You have a right to apply for an internal review of the decision including the conditions
attached to this decision. Under the South-East Queensland Water (Distribution and Retail
Restructuring) Act 2009 an appeal against a decision must be, in the first instance, by way of
an application for internal review.
The attached information sheet provides information about the internal review and appeal
processes, including how to apply and the details of the information required to be submitted
with your application.
Please note that any application for an internal review of this decision must be made within
30 business days after the date the application was decided (see Decision Details on Page
1).
It is advised that prior to the submission of a formal application for internal review, the
applicant should contact the responsible Unitywater officer to discuss the issues of concern.
This can be done by emailing [email protected] and it needs to be made
clear in the email content that this initial enquiry is not a formal application for internal review,
but instead is a preliminary enquiry to discuss issues that have been conditioned in the
Unitywater Decision Notice and/or Infrastructure Charges Notice. The Unitywater officer and
Development Services may consider changes to the Decision Notice and/or Infrastructure
Charges Notice without the need of an Internal Review. This preliminary enquiry and
consultation does not have an effect on the 30 business days of the ‘decision period’ and if
the issue cannot be resolved within this time, the only recourse of Internal Review is as
explained in the process above.

1. Network Fire Fighting Demand Assessment: Is Proposed Type of Land Use Minimum Standard of Service (MSoS), for Fire Fighting ≤ Existing Network MSoS, for Fire Fighting? Yes No Unsure You have selected Yes, please proceed with this assessment. 2. Proposed Network Demand: Use calculator below based on Unitywater Netserv Plan Part A, Appendix B – Schedule of Works, section 2.2 Land Use Assumptions. If this calculator is not suitable for your development (EP Demand Rates are determined under a different mechanism) please attach a document showing details of your calculations. Does the development use a different EP mechanism to calculate the proposed development demand, e.g. a superseded Planning Scheme Policy (PSP) Trunk Infrastructure Contributions under an Infrastructure Agreement? Yes No To complete the section titled Demand below, I have referred to Unitywater Netserv Plan Part A, Appendix B – Schedule of Works, section 2.2 Land Use Assumptions. I acknowledge that the Total Proposed Demand calculated will be supported by a development plan. For RAL, this is a plan of subdivision showing the number of lots and the area of each lot. For MCU Residential, this is a plan showing the number of detached and attached dwellings. For MCU Non-residential (commercial, industrial, other), this is a plan showing Gross Floor Areas for different proposed land uses and Areas Impervious to Stormwater.
