What is a Water Service Coordinator
and why do I need one ?
When building or developing land, it is your responsibility to meet the requirements that ensure the construction process does not cause damage to the underground assets
(sewer / water / storm water pipes) on a property.
This is referred to as the Building Plan Approval
(BPA) process
If subdividing land, building multi residential buildings, constructing or changing a commercial building, the developer is responsible for the property having adequate water and sewer to service the greater need for these types of properties.
This is referred to as the Section 73 S73 process
A water service coordinator is accredited by Sydney Water to ensure that theses needs are met and no damage occurs
A Water Service Coordinator Manages:
-
Applications for Section 73 Compliance Certificates
-
Applications for approval to move or extend pipes
-
Design and supervise construction of new pipes
-
Applications for approval to build over to next to assets
-
Reports on the location of existing pipes
