Stormwater management plans for the City of Bayside.
Council-ready Stormwater Management Plans and WSUD responses for multi-dwelling infill and townhouse development across the Bayside Planning Scheme, with sustainable-design documentation and Legal Point of Discharge coordination.
Council requirements
What the Bayside Planning Scheme requires.
Bayside asks planning applications to document sustainable design in proportion to project scale: a Sustainable Design Assessment for medium-scale development, or a more detailed Sustainability Management Plan for large-scale development, under the scheme's environmentally sustainable development policy (Clause 15.01-2L-02). The stormwater and WSUD response sits inside that documentation — assessed with tools such as STORM and BESS, or MUSIC and Melbourne Water's BlueFactor for larger projects.
Alongside the planning assessment, stormwater from any building or development in Bayside must be collected and directed to a Legal Point of Discharge — a street drain, an easement drain, a suitable private drain, or a Melbourne Water main drain with permission. Council issues the Legal Point of Discharge advice that fixes where the site can lawfully connect.
What we deliver in Bayside
Core stormwater coverage for bayside infill.
WSUD & ESD inputs
STORM or BESS assessment for Sustainable Design Assessments, and MUSIC or BlueFactor modelling where a Sustainability Management Plan needs it.
Service detail →Discharge coordination
Legal Point of Discharge review and drainage strategy — street drain, easement, or Melbourne Water main-drain connection with permission.
Service detail → Local context
Established suburbs, infill-driven applications.
Bayside's development profile is dominated by infill — additional dwellings and multi-unit projects on established lots in suburbs like Brighton, Brighton East, Hampton, and Sandringham. On these sites the stormwater questions are about the existing drainage network: where the Legal Point of Discharge sits, whether the connection runs to the street or an easement, and how the WSUD treatment train fits a constrained lot.
Smaller dwellings and dual occupancies may be able to discharge to the kerb and channel where no underground drains are nearby; larger developments connect underground, and Melbourne Water main-drain connections need Melbourne Water's permission. The SWMP resolves that pathway before it becomes an RFI.
