The Subdivisional Servicing policy describes the general waterway, water quality and drainage works that must be incorporated into servicing of new land developments.

When creating plans of subdivision, you must provide roads, drainage reserves/easements and necessary drainage works.

The use of easements and reserves to protect our assets will be influenced by the type of asset, long term statutory responsibilities, implied rights and required control over use of the land.

Before you start building, renovating or sub-dividing, make sure your plans meet our criteria for flood, water asset and waterway protection.

Before you apply to councils for a town planning or building permit, you must find out if your property is near or within any Melbourne Water easements or assets – such as drains, sewers or water mains.

If we need ‘as constructed’ plans for the asset near your property, you’ll need to engage a licensed surveyor and Service Detection Locators to prove its location.
