Sub division

[Emo21]

Just a quick one on subdivision is there a minimum set back distance you have to keep from the sewer line if it runs along the back fence and is it different distance if the sewer line has two house connecting at one point

Its normally 1.5m from the centre of the sewer. It doesn't matter about the connections.

The other issue to be aware of is keeping the foundations below the zone of influence (see http://www.anewhouse.com.au/2012/01/building-on-pipeline-easements-or-close-to/) this means if the sewer is deep you will be up for additional foundation cost.

Check with water corp. It may be 600mm from the edge of the sewer

The LEP would indicate what the required boundary setbacks are as they would be different from a single dwelling.
