Water and sewerage overview
Our Water Development Services (WDS) team assesses the water and sewerage aspects of development applications, including Building Over or Near Infrastructure (BOONRI) applications.
WDS also provides technical advice about our network and prepares infrastructure agreements for water and wastewater services with land developers.
If you need help to determine if a new connection to our an City Council’s water and/or wastewater infrastructure is feasible, please contact to discuss your proposal.
Private works
To connect or alter water or wastewater infrastructure that relates to development approvals or minor works you need to lodge an application with us.
Please note that the Private Works application will need an approved design plan to accompany the lodgement.
Development industry consultation
We often by asking for feedback about discussion papers and regularly consult with interested stakeholder groups about water and sewerage matters.
All feedback is considered when we prepare future policies, guidelines and amendments to the infrastructure requirements and water supply standards.
