What is a BOSW & BOS Application?

A BOSW application, or BOS application, refers to the process of seeking approval from local councils to build over existing sewer and storm-water infrastructure. The process can be challenging and complex due to strict requirements and regulations imposed by councils. The goal of a BOSW & BOS application is to ensure that the proposed construction does not adversely affect the existing sewer and storm-water infrastructure and that the infrastructure remains safe and functional.

The application typically involves several steps, including initial assessments, consultations with council authorities and obtaining necessary permits and approvals. A thorough inspection of the existing sewer and storm-water infrastructure is conducted to assess the potential impact of the proposed construction. Based on the assessment, recommendations are made to minimise any negative impact on the assets.

Local councils in Southeast Queensland, Northern NSW and beyond have their specific guidelines, regulations and protocols pertaining to construction activities that involve or are in close proximity to sewers, water mains, stormwater drains, and combined sanitary drains. These regions have established processes for submitting BOSW & BOS applications. It is imperative to seek professional assistance to navigate the process and ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements.

Our team of experts is well-equipped to handle all aspects of the BOSW & BOS application, ensuring a smooth and streamlined procedure. We collaborate closely with local councils to facilitate the efficient approval of the application while maintaining the integrity of the existing infrastructure. Our customised reports are tailored to meet the specific requirements of each council, reducing the likelihood of delays in the approval process.

What is required for a successful BOSW Approval or BOS Approval?

A successful approval for a Build over Sewer and Stormwater (BOSW & BOS) application involves a thorough understanding of the regulations, procedures and requirements set by local councils. To ensure a smooth and streamlined application process, the following factors are required:

Compliance with local council requirements: Prior to applying, it is essential to conduct a thorough assessment of the proposed construction work and ensure that it complies with the requirements set by the local council. This includes factors such as the minimum clearance distance between the new construction and the existing sewer or stormwater infrastructure, the maximum height and weight of the structure and the use of appropriate materials.
Collaborative approach: To facilitate a successful BOSW & BOS application, it is necessary to work closely with local council authorities. Effective collaboration ensures that all parties are on the same page and that all requirements are met in a timely and efficient manner.
Meticulous planning: Detailed planning is essential for a successful BOSW & BOS application. This includes obtaining the necessary permits and approvals, conducting site surveys, and preparing comprehensive reports that meet the specific requirements of the local council.
Minimisation of delays: Delays can result in additional costs and time-consuming rework. To minimise delays, it is important to ensure that all necessary documentation, reports and assessments are completed and submitted in a timely manner.
Preservation of infrastructure integrity: During the construction process, it is essential to ensure that the existing sewer, stormwater and other water assets are not compromised. This requires careful planning and execution to prevent any damage or disruption to the existing infrastructure.
