Remote development process

When you commence planning a development, we require the following information:

• location
• lot density plans (for subdivisions only)
• zoning
• architectural plans
• site layout
• designer contacts
• draft design drawings and engineering report.

Please complete the Remote development expression of interest form.

In turn, we will provide you:

• preliminary impact assessment
• procedural advice
• technical advice
• approximate fees
• special conditions, such as a required buffer zone or restricted use
• review of draft planning drawings
• Indigenous Community Engineering Guidelines
• planning checklist
• Water and sewer systems connection information

During this phase of the project, we will require you to provide:

• service location
• easement location
• specific water or sewer requests, for instance trade waste and demand loading
• final lot density layout
• master services layout
• design drawings and engineering report
• supporting design documents, such as geotechnical reports
• construction specification (for network extensions only)

We will assist by providing:

• review of design drawings
• impact assessment
• easement requirements
• scope of works
• in-principle approval of infrastructure upgrades or extensions
• engineering design approval
• drawing checklist
• design checklist
• standard drawings
• standard notes

The construction stage of your project will require you to provide:

• safety management plan
• testing and certification
• seven days' notice before starting work
• applications to connect
• project manager contacts
• contractor contacts
• design change requests
• plug sewer and blank water supply connections.

We will contribute:

• pre-construction meeting
• random works inspections
• construction advice
• approvals to connect
• review and approve design change requests
• advise of fees
• Notice of Intention to Start Work
• application to connect to power, water or sewerage services.

As part of the final stage of development, you should ensure you provide:

• final testing and certification
• as-constructed drawings and survey
• plumbing certificate
• electrical compliance certificate
• field returns
• all fees
• rectified defects
• seven days' notice for handover
• submitted land title plans
• Development Permit
• completed headworks (if required)
• resolved land issues.

We will assist by:

• providing final handover inspection
• finalising easement conditions
• reviewing title plan and easement conditions
• providing development clearance
• issuing Field Return Sheet for water and sewer
• Indigenous Community Asset Handover Guidelines

If an asset is being gifted to us, we will need you to provide:

• valuation of assets
• certificate of handover.

On our end, this is when:

• the defects liability period ends
• the practical completion is issued.
