What is a Stormwater Management Plan and why is it important?
Proper stormwater management is critically important in Australia, as there are many areas, particularly large cities such as Brisbane, which experience frequent heavy rainfall. Without suitable stormwater management solutions to control the flow of runoff water in these populated areas, excess water can cause significant flooding and erosion.
A Stormwater Management Plan is a document that addresses the issues that could arise from urban stormwater and presents solutions to manage the stormwater runoff, including relevant stormwater infrastructure, connections and lawful points of discharge.
When do I need to worry about this?
Any person or business wishing to submit a Development Application with council, or undertake subdivision, commercial or industrial developments, will be required to present a Stormwater Management Plan, to meet requirements.
