Prior to 1 July 2014, Councils managed the construction, alteration and disconnection to Unitywater water supply and sewerage infrastructure as part of a Development Application, and Unitywater provided Council with water supply and sewerage advice and jointly monitored the construction of water supply and sewerage assets.
If you have an existing undecided development application lodged with council or an existing current development approved during the period 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2014, then the following arrangements will remain in place.
For Development Applications lodged with Council up to and including 30 June 2014
Once the development approval takes effect (i.e. the appeal period is complete), the water supply and sewerage aspects of the approval become a Unitywater responsibility under the SEQ Water Act as a stage connection approval.
Development Permits issued with the condition of ‘installation of a water service(s) UW5'
These types of applications will be classed as a Property Service Connection and the following is required to complete an application:
-
draft survey plans for the proposed child lots must be attached to the application and clearly indicate the proposed location of the meter/s
-
the land owner's consent
-
a completed Property Service Connection form.
Note: If the parent property doesn’t exist the application will be put on hold until the parent or child lot is registered by DERM.
Subdivision plans lodged with Council up to and including 30 June 2014 for approval (i.e. 'plan sealing') for registration in Titles Office. This will be managed by Councils under the arrangements in place at the time of the approval or lodgement of the operational works application.
Operational Works approvals issued prior to 30 June 2014, or operational works lodged on or before 30 June 2014 and approved on or from 1 July 2014. This will continue to be managed by Councils under the arrangements in place at the time of the approval or lodgement of the operational works application.
