As for building pond on land where house is already done, if the hole end up more than 1.5m deep then need by right need PE to submit details. By left as long as no damage to neighbour, ppl don't care. My current pond is scraping the limit. One way to increase depth without getting PE involved is to do half in half out pond.

BCA submission for Earth Retaining Super Structure will cost alot and it takes alot time for them to approve. Min 3 months.
Also, if nearby structure is to move just a bit, it will be a huge nightmare.
Do take note of the general contractor insurance coverage. Just in case.
