I own an acreage block under Moreton Bay Regional Council, just north of Brisbane.
About 15 years ago, they (now UnityWater) plumbed a sewerage trunk main with 5 manholes across the middle of the block.
I have just done a title search and there are no easements listed on the property, so my question is, how do they have the right to access or even use my land as a thoroughfare for their sewerage?
Whether or not it was agreed to at the time, whats to stop me digging it up, or to refuse them access to it?
Quite interested on the legality of this as im sure civil works of this nature would require an easement of some description?
BTW I asked UnityWater, they wont comment on anything to do with easements.......
