Hi all
Close mates were doing some renno on their drive way and hit a gas pipe. Now facing a bill by the infrastructure owner of the particular gas network for $3k bill.
Was wondering what options are there to fight this on the basis the 'digging' done as part of the renno was no more than 300mm deep.
This is in NSW and im not sure what exactly the rules are in regards to minimum depth for gas pipes - however would have assumed more than 300mms?
Also - any recommendations on the types of solicitors we would be looking for when seeking professional advice on this one?
Thanks in advance.
