Ensure Right Construction with Sydney Water Building Plan Approval

If you are a resident of Sydney and thinking of starting a new construction work or planning to renovate an old structure, then it is mandatory for you to get water building plan approval in Sydney. Taking Sydney Water Building Plan Approval is important because your construction work near the underground water pipes can affect the quality of water.

So, before a Construction Certificate is issued for any proposed construction works, an assessment should be made as to whether your proposed works influences or effect on existing Sydney Water assets and you may need Sydney Water Building Plan Approval to ensure your new building works won't affect on their pipes and structures.

Projects that are automatically picked up by Sydney Water’s Tap In algorithm as they may potentially affect on Sydney Water owned assets (such as sewer channels, manholes, ventshafts or watermains) must be alluded to a Water Servicing Coordinator to assist with the procedure of the Sydney Water Building Plan Approval.

The ways to a smooth experience are early commitment and complete documentation. The following documents are needed for a complete initial assessment of your projects and will have to be provided before the end of the process to support all Sydney Water Building Plan Approval project completion packages: Peg-Out / Service Protection Report (peg out department can help with this), Architectural Plans, Structural Engineering and Stormwater Plans, Sydney Water online Tap In automated letter of application for Sydney Water Building Plan Approval.
