Sorry les, thought you were talking about Cooma Authorities. Yes, I agree, chances are there will not be a problem if you submit plans to local Authorities but I have experienced the wrath of the Authorities on a few occasions when property developing in Sydney suburbs and they can be quite unbending when they want to be.
Having said that, most Councils and Water Authorities are helpful and try to resolve the issue to everyones satisfaction. I have never been knocked back with building applications but have been made to adhere to Authorities requirements when building outside usual procedures, over easements etc and believe me, these added requirements are quite costly in some instances but not as costly as they can be if you go ahead and build without approval of the Authorities in which case a heavy fine can and sometimes is, imposed on the offending builder or developer, or both and in extreme cases result in work having to be demolished and reconstructed if construction doesn't comply with regulations.
