A Restriction on the Use of Land protects the approved on-site stormwater detention (OSD) system against unauthorised alteration or interference. Unique Surveys prepares Section 88E restrictions for properties throughout NSW.
A Positive Covenant sets out the owner’s obligations to inspect, maintain and repair the OSD system. The Restriction on the Use of Land and Positive Covenant are recorded on the property title and enforceable by the council or prescribed authority named in the documents.
Your building certifier may require a Restriction on the Use of Land and Positive Covenant before issuing an occupation certificate. We prepare your 88E documents to address the applicable development consent and council requirements.
A subdivision certifier may also require 88E documents before issuing a subdivision certificate. The development consent and council conditions determine the Restriction on the Use of Land and Positive Covenant wording and supporting evidence needed.
Unique Surveys prepares your Restriction on the Use of Land and Positive Covenant in one working day. This service covers document preparation. Council endorsement, signing, lodgement, registration and certificate issue follow their own processes and timeframes.
