Release of the Victorian Stormwater Offsets Guidance 2025

Last week, the Victorian Government released the Victorian Stormwater Offsets Guidance! These resources will help Victorian councils understand how to establish and operate stormwater quality offset schemes in their municipalities to manage stormwater quality impacts from urban development. Councils can set up stormwater quality offsets chemes to help developers fully meet their stormwater quality requirements set out under the Victorian planning rules. 

Be sure to check out the new guidance to understand council stormwater management responsibilities, steps for establishing an offseting scheme, and technical implementation guidance.
