Stormwater Management Policy for Development

This policy:

  • sets out requirements for the management of stormwater that interferes with, or has the potential to interfere with, the operation of the public stormwater system and requires consent under section 14(1) of the Urban Drainage Act 2013
  • provides a framework for Council to condition and manage stormwater in new developments, within the context of the Tasmanian Planning Scheme
  • defines the approach and measures adopted by Council to ensure that stormwater runoff generated by new developments is of an acceptable quality, does not exacerbate flooding, can be accommodated by the public stormwater system, and will not adversely impact the future capacity of the system.
