54 Provision and location of utility services
If proposed development will involve a need for them, utility services must be provided to the site of the development, including provision for the supply of water, gas, telecommunications and electricity and the satisfactory management of sewage and drainage.
Utility services including service structures, plant and equipment are to be located below ground or be designed to be an integral part of the development and suitably screened from public places or streets. Where possible, underground utility services are to be provided in a common trench.
Habitable buildings must be connected to Sydney Water Corporation’s sewerage system if within a locality where the density is one dwelling per 1,050m2 or greater. On other land, the consent authority may consider on-site disposal of effluent where the sewerage systems or works are able to operate over the long term without causing unreasonable adverse effects.
