The one on property and holding position. I comprehend how to ask questions, it’s more a case of wording it in such a way that compels in honour SEQ water and the Sunshine Coast council to do amendment works to stop my property continually getting flooded when they release water.
I also have SEQ Infrastructure on my property so I was thinking which they need to access my property to get to, so I’m thinking under the rules of equity they have a financial responsibility for the upkeep of part of the property, as well as a liability because of the damage releasing the water has caused

That is very sound reasoning Morag. I will take this all into consideration. Thanks very much for taking the time to share your insights

Sound advice. I think a counter offer that gets it sorted without legal input is a best case. I may cross out some points on the contract I don’t comprehend/ agree with and send it back for consideration with maybe $1k licence fee per year for the next 10 years?

Good point. I’m always cognisant of what mark says about being fair and reasonable, and remaining in honour if it does go to court. The legislation regarding easements is heavily weighted in the utilities favour, but they still have to operate under the rules of equity.

That’s awesome thanks bud I’ll look into their rules regarding compo. They have now even offered $1000 for legal fees to better understand the contract, which indicates to me their offer of $0 licence fees is a bit of a try on

Hi Morag, I watched the webinar mark did on this in July ‘21. I guess what I’m trying to gage is what would be a reasonable request for compensation to have these services run thru my property of which I get no use of. Also it restricts how I can use the property and where I can make further improvements.
I was thinking maybe a $500/ year rate that would allow them access to the infrastructure?
