Obtaining Formal Pre-Development Advice
In order to get formal pre-development advice you will need to submit your plans to Melbourne Water.
Development proposals should be accompanied by plans drawn to scale which show:
- The boundaries and dimensions of the site.
- Surface ground levels to Australian Height Datum (AHD), taken by a licensed Land Surveyor. The AHD is used throughout Australia and provides a measure of height above mean sea level.
- The layout, size and use of the existing and proposed buildings and works.
- Floor levels of any existing and proposed buildings to AHD.
- Cross sectional details of any basement entry points to AHD.
If you contact us early in the planning process, you may avoid costly redesigning.
