I live in Brisbane. I have recently discovered a large hole in my back yard. So large that i can stick the full length of a broom handle down it. I now believe that it may be the reason for the back end of my house beginning to drop. I believe it is the Council Storm water drain that runs beneath our property that is damaged.
I was considering building units on my property some time in the future.
I am not not sure what would be my first point of contact.
Do I bring it to my insurers attention? Do I notify the council? Should I get a ? Engineer in to confirm the problem before I do anything?
I just dont know where to start. If I am going to build units on it eventually it seems silly to put any effort into fixing the problem. I'd prefer the money to put toward the Engineers report that I will eventually have to pay for before unit development approval.
