Clause 56 Tool
ArrayMelbourne Water waterway management boundary
Melbourne Water is a Referral Authority under Section 55 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and Section 8 of the Subdivisions Act 1988. Melbourne Water receives applications for subdivisions and other developments from councils. This allows Melbourne Water to comment on applications and if necessary, place conditions on town planning permits. These conditions ensure that the drainage system and new developments are adequately designed to meet appropriate standards of flood protection and minimise the impact of stormwater runoff into rivers and creeks.
