Legal Point of Discharge
You may need a legal point of discharge report when applying for a building permit.
All new buildings are required to be connected to a Legal Point of Discharge for storm water, this is the point where storm water from your property discharges into a Council managed drain or the street kerb and channel.
To find this location, you must apply for a report to be generated. We cannot provide this information verbally.

- You must check the size, depth and offset of the drain on site and make sure the drain is not damaged
- Details of storm water downpipes and where they go on the property.
