Do I Need a Permit for Excavation on Private Property?
Private-property work can still have service, safety, building, drainage or council conditions.
The answer depends on the location, purpose and assets affected. A private trench can still be close to public services, a road reserve, regulated utilities, drainage infrastructure or a building approval condition.
Check with the relevant council, network owner, designer or principal contractor before work starts. The excavation contractor can work to the confirmed requirements but should not be expected to guess the approval pathway.
