Positive Covenant
If a consent has a condition that requires a Covenant to be prepared it is suggested that a solicitor prepare the covenant for you.
Once the covenent is prepared, your solicitor will request Council sign a Positive Covenant Document (88B). Council will then return the signed document to your solicitor for registration at the Land Titles Office. This ensures that the information is stored on the title of the land so it will never become lost over time with property exchanges.
The condition of consent may ask the covenant to be in accordance
- with Council's Standard Onsite Detention Wording
- with the recommendations of the Geotechnical Report - copy the exact recommendation from the geotechnical report submitted with the application
- no separate assessable structure allowed
- or any other reason that may be placed on the consent as part of the assessment process
