Stormwater Drainage - Legal Point of Discharge

If you are redeveloping a site, adding an extension to your existing building or intend to build a structure of any type, you must apply for a Legal Point of Discharge (LPD) for the stormwater catchment of your property.

Do you have a Planning Permit?

• No     See Planning Permits.

• Yes    -> Continue

If you are using Private Building Surveyor;
Your Building Surveyor must submit detailed construction plans to Engineering Services for assessment.

If you are using Council's Building Surveyor;
LPD will be arranged by Yarra Building Services in consultation with Yarra Engineering Services

Submitted plans must include:

• An existing conditions plan

• A proposed development plan

• An internal stormwater plan

Assessment of LPD cannot be made without submission of the above information.

Once you have obtained a written approval for LPD, you will be required to obtain a Road Opening Permit prior to the works being undertaken.

Timeframe

All advice on LPD will be issued in writing within 10 working days of receiving a request. Larger developments may require more than 10 days to respond.

Costs

A drainage levy may be applicable on new developments.
