If you need to move, extend, remove, replace or protect our pipes and assets for your development, including temporary replacement pipes, you and your providers must get approval and enter into a Developer Works Deed with us.
The approval process
Entering into the Developer Works Deed is part of the process to get approval to move, extend, remove, replace or protect any Sydney Water pipes, including temporary replacement pipes.
You must engage a water servicing coordinator to lodge an approval application with us. This includes completing all our developer deed schedules, below.
You'll need to include a design of the proposed works and any temporary pipework. We'll review the design and tell you what you need to do to get our approval. This might include lodging a construction bond.
