DIAL BEFORE YOU DIG

Taswater have advised that the sign location as shown on the site plan is setback from their underground infrastructure adequately. If the location needs to be adjusted you must contact Taswater to discuss.

Taswater also advised that there appears to be a private water line very close to where the sign is proposed, in an easement on the adjacent Marine Board Building title CT149325/5. The water line belongs to Tasports. Advice should be sought from a private building surveyor to confirm what level works the footing and sign is under the Building Act 2016, and that the sign footing will not impact on that pipe or easement. You may need to contract a 'service locator' to ensure that private water pipe is not impacted on by the sign footing. Taswater have service locators details on their website.
