There are three types of Build over Asset referrals; Lodge form 32, Self-Assessment Referral and Full-Assessment Referral. These referrals depend on the building design’s compliance with a Queensland Development Code MP1.4 Building Over or Near Infrastructure (QDC MP1.4) and our Alternative Solutions Guideline.

Self-Assessment Referral
Queensland Urban Utilities will no longer be accepting Self-Assessment referrals from 1, March 2019.
Use the Alternative Solutions Guideline (PDF) to assess if the building design is eligible for self-assessment (this must be done by an RPEQ engineer or building certifier).
Email the following to development.boa@urbanutilities.com.au
