What are you preparing?

Choose the help you need

Start with the uncertainty holding up your decision. There is no fixed order.

Records you can gather

Gather the proposal, current records and any Council letter. Identify what is already established and the one question blocking your next decision.

Who can resolve the gap?

Use public records for established information. Ask the relevant authority about its requirements and a suitably qualified professional about a site or technical question.

Draft for Council / relevant authority Specialist scope and quote

Use the authority’s required form or enquiry service where applicable. An informal reply is not an approval.

Property address or suburb

A suburb is enough for an early draft. Add the property address for site-specific advice.

What would you like to do?

Describe the outcome and proposed work. A rough concept is useful; label it as a concept.

Measurements and how they were obtained

Record measured, drawing-based or approximate values. Leave unmeasured facts unknown.

Zone and overlays shown on your property report

Copy the full control names and schedule numbers, plus the report date.

Title, easements and covenants

Name the records checked and their dates. Write “not checked” if you do not have them.

Known services, drainage or wastewater constraints

Use existing records. A visible pit or pipe does not establish its location or requirements.

Records or drawings available

List file names, dates and drawing revisions. Attach the actual records when you send the enquiry.

The question holding up your next decision

For example: which report would establish whether this concept is feasible?

An easement, pipe or pit can require a separate owner or beneficiary enquiry even when it is absent from the title. Distance alone is not clearance.

Open the records and official sources

Check the current version and relevant passage. A linked source does not establish that a rule applies to your site.
