Frequently Asked Questions
A Dig Smart search helps provide information about underground services that may be present near your property, supporting safer planning for landscaping, construction, or other ground works. It helps reduce the risk of accidentally damaging essential infrastructure by making relevant information available before work begins.
A Dig Smart search is typically requested when you are planning any ground works such as excavation, construction, landscaping, fencing, or similar projects. This applies to both major works and smaller jobs like planting trees or installing garden features. Accessing information about underground services early in the planning stage can help reduce the risk of accidentally damaging existing infrastructure.
Legal requirements can vary depending on the type of work and the location of the site. While an underground services search may not be mandatory in every situation, accessing information about underground services during the planning stage is widely recognised as good practice. Doing so can help support safer works and reduce the risk of accidental damage to existing infrastructure.
Information that may be included in a Dig Smart search can relate to underground services such as gas lines, water pipes, sewer systems, electrical cables, telecommunications infrastructure, and, in some cases, stormwater drainage. The availability of information can vary depending on the location and the relevant service providers.
To submit a Dig Smart search request, you’ll need the full address of the property or site, and where applicable, the lot or unit number. Providing accurate site details helps ensure the information returned is relevant to the correct location.
