Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can I future-proof my stormwater system?

    To future-proof your stormwater system, work with experienced civil engineers to design for both current and projected rainfall events, allow for system maintenance, and incorporate sustainable features like water-sensitive urban design (WSUD). Ensuring compliance with the latest codes and planning for changing climate conditions also helps maintain long-term performance.

  • How does stormwater affect neighbouring properties?

    Improperly managed stormwater can flow onto neighbouring properties, causing erosion, flooding or structural damage. Councils require stormwater to be retained or directed to legal points of discharge to prevent adverse impacts. A compliant stormwater drainage system protects your development and ensures you don’t create liabilities for others.

  • What is a lawful point of discharge?

    A lawful point of discharge is an approved location where stormwater can be released, such as a kerb inlet, council stormwater pipe or creek. Releasing water anywhere else can breach regulations and cause damage. A flood or civil engineer will identify and design connections to the correct discharge points.

  • Can I reuse stormwater on my property?

    Yes, stormwater can be captured and reused for non-potable purposes like garden irrigation, car washing or toilet flushing. Rainwater tanks and rain gardens can be incorporated into your stormwater design. Reusing runoff reduces demand on mains supply and helps mitigate the volume of water entering public infrastructure.
