If your renovations or extensions are on, or next to, a property that has water or sewer infrastructure or easements on it, you will need to contact a building certifier. The certifier will assess the work to ensure it meets the requirements for building over or near Unitywater infrastructure.

A connection approval is an authority given by Unitywater for developers to make a connection, disconnection or alteration to our water and/or sewerage network. We class a development as any activity that requires new, additional or upgraded connections to our infrastructure. 

If you're building or renovating, you often need to connect to the water and sewerage networks for the first time or make changes to an existing connection. We've got some useful information for you, no matter the size of your project.

If you're subdividing a block of land into multiple lots that will be released all at once, or you're undertaking a large subdivision where land parcels will be released in stages, you will need Unitywater approval for your subdivision plan as well as the engineering plans for the construction of each stage.

The process and timelines for commercial and industrial developments and building of complexes are the same as residential connections but the inclusions required for your application will depend on the type of activity that will occur on the site.
