Stormwater management plans for the City of Hume.

Council-ready Stormwater Management Plans for residential, industrial, and commercial development across the Hume Planning Scheme. Mixed-use municipality, varied overlay sets, end-to-end Melbourne Water referral support.

Council requirements

What the Hume Planning Scheme requires.

The Hume Planning Scheme adopts the Victorian Planning Provisions with local schedules. Stormwater management is governed by Clause 56.07-4 for residential subdivisions and Clause 53.18 for non-subdivision development; both demonstrate compliance with EPA Publication 1739.1.

Hume's mixed development profile means stormwater triggers come from a wider range of sources than the pure-growth-corridor councils. Industrial and commercial sites carry their own water-quality risk profile (sediment, hydrocarbons, gross pollutants), and several catchments inside the municipality sit within Melbourne Water drainage schemes triggering Clause 66.04 referral.

Local context

Mixed industrial, commercial, and residential — Melbourne's north.

Hume covers established suburbs in Broadmeadows, Glenroy, and Tullamarine, an active growth corridor in Mickleham, Kalkallo, and Craigieburn, and a substantial industrial footprint around Melbourne Airport and Somerton. Each development type carries different stormwater triggers and treatment-train expectations.

Industrial sites in Hume often need treatment trains tuned to the specific water-quality risk — gross pollutant traps for material handling sites, hydrocarbon separators where vehicle movements warrant, and sediment basins during construction. Residential subdivisions in the growth-corridor precincts run on the standard Melbourne Water referral and STORM ≥100% pathway. The treatment expectations are covered in the Victorian WSUD guide.
