Thanks

Wow does Vic actually work?
I know thousands who paid for faulty info from the QLD masters of screw up.
Our big brothers do this on purpose to get work for the legal mess industry.
Ok
Different easements may exist and the service provider is only likely to show their easement. Eg Melbourne Water will only show theirs, if there is power or access/road then they may be shown on another plan.
I'd start be reviewing the properties land title which should indicate the easements.
As @jv has linked, all should be included on s32 if the house is for sale.
A dial before you dig search will give you a lot of information about underground utilities.
You can dig over an easement, you just can't build over it.

Have you never reviewed a contract for sale from the agent? All your answers you seek are in it.
Get a free property report at https://www.propertyvalue.com.au/virginmoney/search-result/1…. Locate your address, submit your details, and view the report. Easements are marked in purple on the map.
DBYD.
Your conveyancer should be able to tell you this information
No need to pay a conveyancer or anyone.
In Victoria, it comes free of charge. Just check the offer contract aka Section 32.
Yes, but it's included in the contract review which should be part of your due diligence anyway. I wouldn't be signing a high value contract prior to having it reviewed by a lawyer (preferable) or a conveyancer, particularly in the case of an auction as there is no cooling off period.
I agree… However the OP is checking for easements and therefore likely looking for a development site.
The first thing to check if it's a good development site is the easements.
No point asking your lawyer or conveyancer to review each Section 32 on 5 or 10 potential development sites if you haven't checked to see if there an easement when you can do it yourself.
Once you have identified that property doesn't have an easement or a small easement which won't affect the development, and the agent price confirmed the price is within reason, then yes get the lawyer or conveyancer to review the contract before signing.
Section 32C – item 3
or try and get a water encumbrance certificate….
