Story: Mapping Out Your Property’s Supply Lines
Episode: 9
Presenter: Nigel Ruck
Air Date: 17 October 2026

Nigel explains why underground services may not be where you expect them, and how checking utility plans before digging can help prevent dangerous damage to essential infrastructure.

• Underground supply lines don’t always follow fence lines, but meters can help indicate where services enter or leave a property.
• Before excavating, visit byda.com.au to request a free report showing available information about underground services on your property.
• For more precise location information, BYDA can refer you to a Skilled Utility Locator to identify underground services before work begins.
• Underground lines may be buried shallower than expected, and damaging gas or other utility services can create serious safety risks, including gas leaks and fire.
• Always check for underground services before digging, whether you’re installing a fence, laying a driveway or undertaking other excavation work.
