  Site plan for a meter connection

  For a pillar site plan to be accepted, it must clearly show:

  • the proposed pillar location in a visible colour on the site plan.
  • the street name on which the property borders​
  • the full address of the property
  • the nearest intersection (for rural properties it helps to locate the site)

  In order to provide a fast, accurate quote and advice on your new connection arrangement we require a comprehensive site plan with details of your current and/or proposed site layout. This includes but is not limited to the following information being clearly marked on your plan:

  • boundary or retaining walls at the side and front of the property – including depth of wall
  • location of items such as letterboxes, garden beds, trees/stumps, driveways, crossovers
  • detail or grades of any major inclines or slopes near the front boundary
  • utility locations for water meters/pipes, gas pipes, sewer mains/connections and access points
  • proposed location of new pillar/s

  Pillar exclusion zone

  The pillar needs to have an exclusion zone of 50cm from its centre. Inside or under the exclusion zone there must not be any:

  • water pipes, water storage facilities or water meters
  • gas pipes or meters
  • telecommunication cables
  • sewage, waste water, or storm water pipes
  • reticulation pipes or cables
  • tree roots and other vegetation
  • concrete, asphalt, limestone or bedrock

  Creating a site plan using maps or satellite images

  An easy way to create a site plan is to use a online mapping service like Google Maps. Just take a screen shot of the address and then label the requirements on it.

  

  

  Using construction plans or engineering drawings for a site plan

  If you’ve got access to construction plans or engineering drawings, you’ll be able to submit these as a site plan as long as it includes all our requirements.
