Planning FAQs - Are there any easements affecting my property, and can I build on or close to them?

Answer

To obtain details of any easements located on your land, check the Certificate of Title, and associated Plan of Subdivision. 

Common easements include drainage and sewerage easements; however, this is not always the case. 

A service authority or any other party may also have “implied easement rights” over the property (e.g. a water asset not specifically covered by an existing easement on the Plan of Subdivision of the title).
