                                                                                         2008/989



      To ensure Council’s sewer main is accessible for maintenance purposes and is protected from
      risk of damage no structures requiring a building permit (eg. buildings, swimming pools,
      retaining walls exceeding 1m in height, raised terraces, etc) shall be constructed within this
      ‘zone of influence’ or within 1.5m of the centreline of the sewer main, whichever is the greater.
Town Water Supply
31.   The site shall be connected to Council’s existing town water supply and be constructed in
      accordance with Council’s standards and requirements at no cost to Council.
32.   Each individual water connection to the water reticulation system shall extend to the property
      boundary and be metered. All fees for the supply of water meters shall be paid to the Council.
33.   All water meters must be located outside the property boundary and in an easily assessable
      location to facilitate unhindered reading by Council and/or Council’s contracted water meter
      readers, and not behind fences or locked gates. In this regard approval of the water meter
      configuration and location must be obtained from Council’s Water & Sewerage Capital Works
      Manager prior to lodgement and approval of hydraulic drawings.
34.   For Multiple Uses (including Building Format Plans, Group Title Plans, etc) the development
      shall be served by:
      34.1.   A single Body Corporate water meter to measure the total water consumption
              (including fire hose reels, but excluding fire hydrants and fire sprinkler systems), and
      34.2.   Individual water meters to each tenement capable of being separately rated, and
      34.3.   A fire service (fully testable single detector check with metered bypass), where
              applicable, for flows to fire hydrants and fire sprinkler systems (excluding fire hose
              reels).
Service Easements (Sewer)
35.   A registered easement shall be created over the zone of influence of all sewers within the
      subject site and over those parts of the subject site that are impacted upon by sewers on any
      adjoining sites. The easements shall generally be parallel to and centred over the sewer main
      and be equivalent in width to twice the depth to invert level of the sewer at the deepest point
      within the allotment (measured from the finished surface) and be no less than 3.0m wide
      overall. In this regard a licensed surveyor shall accurately locate all sewer mains and
      determine the necessary width of the easement, which shall be shown on any plans submitted
      for Operational Works / Building Works approval. To this extent the surveyor shall certify that
      the sewer and the zone of influence is wholly contained within the easement to be created.
      In addition to this the Applicant’s Solicitor shall give Council’s Solicitor an appropriate
      undertaking in writing that the Title Deed and the easement documents will be lodged at the
      Land Titles Office and any additional Titles Office forms or requisitions requiring the consent of
      Council will be attended to promptly.

      A duly executed copy of the easement shall be submitted to Council for perusal prior to the
      use commencing. Any changes required by Council’s Solicitor must be corrected immediately.
36.   No building or other structure shall be constructed or encroach over an easement.
Earthworks
37.   Filling works required on site shall be carried out in accordance with Council’s Planning
      Scheme Policy PSP5 – Engineering Design Standards, so as not to cause the additional
      ponding of water on any adjoining lands or the blockage of, or interference with, any natural
      watercourses. Detailed site surveys indicating natural surface levels and contours of the
      adjoining properties must be provided with the application for a Development Permit for
      Operational Works for Filling and Drainage.
