Contact

Individuals and businesses requiring plans for an excavation site can access the BYDA referral service free of charge. Resources are available to help you lodge an enquiry  and register for plans.

Phone support is also available by calling 1100.

Once an enquiry has been lodged you will receive plans to the email you registered with. The plans you receive will come directly from members of BYDA who are affected by your works. You can expect responses typically within minutes, however sometimes plans may take 2 business working days. Be sure to check your junk inbox for referral responses.

Asset owner information can be found on the Enquiry Confirmation Sheet. If you are waiting on a response from an asset owner, reference these details. Should you require further support, contact BYDA.
