Developer deeds
In order to complete works on our water or sewer system, a formal agreement between Hunter Water and a Developer for the design and construction of assets is required.
If you have been advised by us that you will need to enter into a deed to complete works, you can download the relevant deed here. There are three types of Developer Works Deeds:
We will advise you which deed is relevant to your specific works.
