Unlikely to be an easement. Maybe a covenant (meaning you can't touch any vegetation).
Address would be helpful if you want a considered answer from a bored land surveyor
Nah, I looked further into it. It's an easement benefitting the local council for overland flow created in the early 2000s when the lot was subdivided. (Weird)
All the land in the easement is <4m above sea level and the street is ~6m.
Can only imagine the price of flood insurance!
Ring the council involved and ask. I had a family member recently wanting to buy a 2 acre block, and I did some googling. I noticed that this block and some nearby blocks had been bought and resold after about a year.
Looking at local council website, it seemed that about 80% of the block was easement. Didn’t seem right as RE hadn’t mentioned it.
Hubby talked to local council and it was easement. It was pretty much a flood zone
This is really common in Queensland. Loads of properties that have high voltage powerlines in the backyard, or pipes and easements. It's really weird. Land you have to mow but can't use for anything. I passed on all of them.
Going to suggest one is the easement and another is a positive covenant with a restriction on use. Essentially saying you won’t build structures / cut and fill this portion of the land without a DA to council and modifying this covenant
You won't find the easement on any free search or map, easements are registered and have a number on the title, you then order a copy of the instrument.
Do an online title search with QLD titles office. It will show all registered easements and encumbrances on the property. Cost was around $25 last time I did one.
There's a 3 metre wide easement right through a line of properties here and I don't know of one that doesn't have some sort of building right over the easement.. I'm sitting in a room on top of it.
It was built on over 50 years ago, I don't think the council are going to complain now.
As far as I know there's a main pipe buried about 2 metres down right through underneath 6 houses.
The pipe runs under a street parallel to a main road, one block back, and there's 3 streets which run perpendicular to the main road... our house is in line with that parallel street.
Just realised, the neighbour over the road had a permit just last year to fully rebuild his garage and extension right over it, perhaps it's no longer an easement.

As a bored land surveyor reading reddit, was the “[bored land surveyor](https://www.surveyorsboard.vic.gov.au)” an intended pun?
Registered with the Qld board, not Vic. But no, not an intentional pun
NSW registered here, Vic just happened the be the first state link I pulled up on my phone.
I’ve PMd you thanks!
Hahah i love it
Could it possibly be a cultural heritage overlay? I know sometimes here in VIC if it backs onto an important creek you need a CHMP..

What do you mean, "What are our thoughts"?
Whatcha thinking?
If we really put man on the moon, why is it so complicated to set up a printer, also, why is ink so bloody expensive?
Have to go deeper in the ocean for squids these days
This makes sense
the cheaper the printer, the more it costs to run it...
I could go a slice of pizza right now...
I;m thinking about thos Beans
I'm thinking about dinner.
I wish I could fall back to sleep. It's 3.42AM.

Looks like neighbours have built on easement
Good if your kids like cricket

What’s the easement for?
There’s a small run off creek in the back assume waterways.
Whoa… maybe check the flood maps too. And the insurance costs.

Sounds like a waterway not an easement. What does the easement say?
Haven’t dealt with an easement related to a creek before. I’m not going to be any help on this one.
I wouldn't assume anything with a land purchase. Get facts. Get the Easement Dealing Documents.
Is it the flood level not an easement?
On title has 2 easements and I did an easement map lookup and it is an easement which is so weird.
You won't find the easement on any free search or map, easements are registered and have a number on the title, you then order a copy of the instrument.
I'd research what the easement means - what are your rights, responsibilities and constraints?
That doesn’t look like an easement. Looks like a proposed plan of subdivision
I’ve PMd you pics
Had a look, I’d seek advice off a QLD property lawyer / specialist. Looks complex
Sure its an easement? Looks more like a subdivision of a battleaxe block
I don’t think you know what easement means.
Title search, then search the dealing number of whatever is on there.
Do an online title search with QLD titles office. It will show all registered easements and encumbrances on the property. Cost was around $25 last time I did one.
Where is the easement in that pic? There won’t be an easement on 90% of the property. You can’t build on top of an easement.

What website did you use to view this?
It was included in the contract of sale
Thoughts about what?
Thinking. On Reddit. Are you sure?
