This application is to obtain Council’s approval of the detailed drainage design as per Council’s guidelines (759.9 KB).
Planning permits issued under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 may require an on-site detention system (OSD) to be installed on the subject site to the satisfaction of Brimbank City Council (Council). OSD provides temporary storage of stormwater run-off to ensure that the receiving drainage system is not overloaded. Council recommends that the developer engages a private engineer or designer that is experienced in the design of OSD to liaise with Council’s engineers.
If you are required to apply, it will be noted as a condition on the Planning Permit, e.g. “An on-site stormwater drainage retention/detention system must be installed on the subject land to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority". Generally plans are submitted for approval for residential developments with three or more units.
If you require parameters applicable for the design of the property drainage/onsite detention (OSD) as per the requirement of the Planning Permit conditions, please first contact Engineering Services via info@brimbank.vic.gov.au before completing this application.
