You may be required to enter into a Section 173 Agreement if your projects can’t meet a special condition in your non-works or works offer, or to comply with a Melbourne Water planning permit condition.
To receive our consent to issue a statement of compliance, developers must confirm that they have met the planning permit and offer conditions that relate to their subdivision.
Developers and their consultants are required to prepare and submit a stormwater management strategy for review by Melbourne Water.
Urban developers can pay the stormwater offset rate if they're unable to treat stormwater within their development to meet best practice standards.
If council have determined that your application qualifies as a VicSmart application you will need our formal consent prior to lodging your permit application at council.
If you are planning to build a private floating or fixed jetty, pontoon or mooring on Melbourne's waterways you need our approval.
