Our contributions policy details the owner's contributions for the provision of waterway, water quality treatment and drainage facilities, and the criteria upon which assessment of the amount of the contributions is based.

An owner who’s required to build our assets in conjunction with the development is reimbursed an amount towards the cost of the works by us.

Unless otherwise specified by us, the owner is responsible for the construction and recording of all works. The owner must meet all the pre-construction requirements before construction commences.

We expect land development consulting engineers and other practitioners to be fully competent and capable of delivering waterway and drainage services to a high standard.

Connection to our asset is normally through outfall to a surface channel (either natural or constructed), or to an underground pipe system. The number of connections to our drainage system is to be minimised.

In some instances Melbourne Water may require the developer to create an operation plan as part of the new asset.
