Right of Drainage means the right for a person authorised to do so to construct, maintain and repair sewers and drains over specified parts of another persons land for the removal of stormwater and other surplus water, but without doing unnecessary damage to the other persons land.

In the example on the right, see the Drainage Easement along the rear boundary of lots 18 & 19. Note that the easement does not 'Burden' lots 18 & 19.

SIMPLY:

This means that you cannot restrict the right of someone to construct and maintain pipes over that portion of a title that is defined as 'Drainage Easement', nor can you build a structure over such area.

HOW WE ASSIST :

We can determine the location of such a Drainage Easement on the ground and on plan to allow the design and construction of structures that do not intrude on this right.
