Drainage contributions are the costs we recover from developers to fund drainage scheme infrastructure and stormwater quality treatment works.
Stormwater offset contributions are paid by developers to reduce the impacts of stormwater pollution from urban developments
In Melbourne, a safe, clean and healthy environment is essential to our way of life. Through an extensive network of underground pipes and sewers we manage and treat our city's sewage, ensuring the health of our environment, our communities and our families. Without improvements and innovations, that enormous sewerage network would reach capacity and our waste would impact on the health of your environment. That's why at Melbourne Water we are upgrading sections of the North Yarra Main (NYM) Sewer between Yarra Flats Park, Ivanhoe East and Farms Rd, Alphington (3.5kms). Ensuring we maintain our world class sewerage system today, tomorrow and for generations to come.
Before you purchase or develop property, or apply to your council for a planning or building permit, there are things you need to do to make sure your development meets current standards for drainage and stormwater quality.
