A plain English explanation of this ACT planning and property term.
An easement, on a block of land, permits another person or organisation to use the land included in the easement for a specific purpose.Some examples of easement agreements include easements for: an infrastructure provider to access utilities like stormwater and electricity, a neighbouring landowner to use part of your land for access.
An easement is a legal right that allows another person or organisation to use part of someone else's land for a specific purpose, without owning that land. For example, an electricity or water provider may have an easement to install and maintain utility services, or a neighbouring property owner may have an easement to use part of the land as an access path or driveway.
