Consider stormwater when building

If you are doing any sort of development, one of the factors you need to consider is stormwater. Find out what you need to know about stormwater before you begin.

Design of the stormwater system

The stormwater system has to meet design standards that reduce environmental impacts, flood risk, maintenance costs and other guidelines.

Entering the public stormwater network

If you are building or making repairs, you may need access to the stormwater network. This includes any maintenance work, cleaning, CCTV and inspection.

Discharging stormwater under our Network Discharge Consent (NDC)

If you are planning a development we may be able to authorise the discharge of stormwater under our regional Network Discharge Consent (NDC).
