Sewer and Stormwater Easements in Gross, Paradise Terrace, Taihape
Often public servicing infrastructure is found to be laid within the boundaries of privately owned property, the result of historical development, without any legal right of access to the utilities for the relevant local authority, as was the case in Paradise Terrace, Taihape.
In this situation, Rangitikei District Council engaged Plateau Surveyors to survey an Easement in Gross over existing Council sewer and stormwater pipes which crossed private residential property, to allow for legal access for the purpose of repairs and maintenance of these assets in the future. Our Team completed fieldwork on site to survey the position of the sewer and stormwater lines before preparing an easement plan in accordance with this information. The Survey Plan and Dataset was lodged with Land Information New Zealand for Approval to legalise the situation.
