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.
The stormwater system has to meet design standards that reduce environmental impacts, flood risk, maintenance costs and other guidelines.
If you are building or making repairs, you may need access to the stormwater network. This includes any maintenance work, cleaning, CCTV and inspection.
If you are planning a development we may be able to authorise the discharge of stormwater under our regional Network Discharge Consent (NDC).
