What is onsite stormwater detention (OSD)?
If our existing drainage system can’t cope with an increase of runoff, an onsite drainage (OSD) system is a requirement of the planning process.
An OSD system helps retain stormwater onsite during heavy rainfall and releases water slowly through a constrained outlet. This limits peak discharge from the site.
Local developments that have the potential to increase stormwater runoff will generally need an OSD system.
How much does it cost?
The cost will be $525 to $1200. We base our fees on the number of units or apartments proposed on the plan.
Extra costs apply if you need to make changes to your OSD plans.
How to prepare your application
1. Download the OSD Design checklist and OSD guidelines.
2. Make sure you complete the design checklist correctly and that it is signed before submitting your OSD plans or OSD amended design plans.

… for any work that has a drainage system. Tags Parking, Roads and Footpaths Property and Development … Apply for a point of …
What is a legal point of discharge?
Stormwater that falls on a property is collected and drained to what is usually the lowest point on the property, which is known as the ‘legal point of discharge’.
This collected stormwater is then ‘discharged’ or released to the Council stormwater system, which is usually an underground drain in the street or in a property easement.
If no underground drain is available, the stormwater is drained to the ‘kerb and channel’ in the nearby street.
In some cases, the property owner will be required to construct a new drain to connect with the Council’s stormwater system. This is known as the 'point of connection'.
The property owner is responsible for the construction and maintenance for all drains, including drains outside of the property boundary, up to the Council’s stormwater system.
A legal point of discharge (POD) can be one of the following.
- The point where rain or stormwater runs off a property, then flows into the council drain network. You’ll need to apply for a legal point of discharge certificate that’ll show the location and connection type that’s allowed.
- The point specified by us where the discharging of water must occur.
Where is a POD located?
A POD is usually:
- the nearest pit or drain of adequate depth and capacity
- a point specified by a council officer.
When do you need a POD?
Before any issuing of a building permit, you must get a POD report for any work that has a drainage system. This will help a building surveyor make sure that the design of the internal drainage system is:
- in accordance with the approval
- connected to the specific point of discharge.
An application for a POD is a requirement for developments that include stormwater drainage systems.
You may also need to obtain a legal point of discharge report, if you are preparing Engineering Plans for our approval.
How much does it cost?
The cost for the POD is $151.
How to apply
You can apply online for a POD.
What happens next?
After submitting your application fee, we’ll email you with the relevant details within 10 working days.
The Legal Point of Discharge Report will provide information on:
- The Legal Point of Discharge in accordance with the Building Act
- The Point of Connection
- Advice on the location of any Council's drains, where available
- Advice on additional Building and Planning requirements
The report does not contain information regarding the existing private stormwater system on the property or the existing point of connection.

A property owner or an applicant may be breaching local laws and can receive an infringement notice or penalty if they don’t obtain a permit. Enforcement actions can also lead to legal prosecution and the Magistrate’s Court will determine the punishment.
When do you need the permit?
If you are an owner or builder, you must obtain a permit at least 10 business days before the commencement of any works.
Applications take about 10 business days to process. A permit will only be issued once the permit fee and bond have been paid.
How much does it cost?
If the total costs of works are $1 million or less
A non-refundable permit fee is $410 plus a security bond determined by the works and land.
If the total costs of works are greater than $1 million
A non-refundable permit fee will range between $600 and $20,000 and includes a security bond. The amount payable will depend on the scope and value of the development. The permit fee will be determined by the infrastructure service manager.
Security bond
Our asset protection officer will determine the security bond after an initial site inspection. We will make a security bond determination after a site inspection. The amount will range between $1000 and $20,000. The amount will consider the nature and extent of the works.
Commercial developments of works that pose a higher risk to our assets may incur a bond greater than $20,000.
When will my security bond be refunded?
If there is no damage or the applicant repairs any damage after the completion of building work, the applicant will receive a refund for the security bond.
A bond may be used to remedy:
- a breach of permit conditions
- any damages caused by the works.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to repair damage caused by other authorities before receiving a security bond refund. If Council is required to repair any damages that exceeds the bond amount further charges may apply. The applicant will receive a separate invoice in such an event.
The fee increase covers road asset administration and associated inspection costs of the permits.

Check common scenarios
Here are some common scenarios to check if we may or may not withdraw your infringement:
- This is your first infringement – can you get off with a warning?
An infringement will not be withdrawn under these circumstances. An honest mistake is not sufficient grounds for the fine to be withdrawn. - Your vehicle broke down
If your car broke down then you can apply for an infringement review, but you will need to supply supporting documentation such as a mechanics or towing or roadside assistance invoice to have your review considered. - You parked in a No Stopping area for only a short period of time
An infringement will not be withdrawn under these circumstances. This includes stopping for any reason including dropping or picking up children from school. - Your parking permit was not displayed correctly
If at the time of the infringement you had a current parking permit then you can apply for an infringement review provided you have not received a warning previously. You will need to supply proof of your parking permit as supporting documentation to have your review considered. - You did not understand or see the sign or understand the road rules
An infringement will not be withdrawn under these circumstances. There is an onus on a driver to understand the road rules. - You were not the driver
An infringement will not be withdrawn under these circumstances, however, you may nominate another driver to have the infringement reissued to the correct person. - You were dealing with a medical emergency
If a medical emergency occurred you will need to supply an official letter from the hospital or doctor confirming you were involved in a medical emergency at the time the fine was issued then you can apply for an infringement review. We will not withdraw fines where medical appointments were delayed or took longer than expected unless it was a medical emergency. - You cannot afford to pay this fine
An infringement will not be withdrawn under these circumstances, however, you may request a payment plan or an extension if you meet the criteria. - You did not register your pet
If your pet is registered with another Victorian Council, you will need to supply proof of registration as supporting documentation in your infringement review application. If you have recently acquired your pet, you will need to supply proof of adoption or ownership. We will not withdraw fines where you were unaware of the need to register your pet, or you did not have time to register your pet. - Your dog escaped from home
We do not withdraw fines where you were unaware your gate/door/fence was open or unsecured, or where your dog dug its way out or escaped through a hole in the fence. If your dog escaped during a home invasion or after it was stolen, you can apply for an infringement review and you will need to supply a police report as supporting documentation.
