Ashhurst residents can go back to using your water as usual. A big thank you for your patience and efforts to conserve water while we repaired the burst water main. You might notice some discoloured water tomorrow. If you do, please run your cold tap for up to 20 minutes. If it still doesn't run clear, give us a call.
Our team have repaired the leak and restored the drinking water supply. Linton, a huge thanks for your patience and understanding while we got this sorted.
We've developed stormwater attenuation and bioretention design guidelines to help developers mitigate stormwater runoff and prevent increased flooding risks.
Council expects stormwater management solutions to be evaluated on an individual property and site-specific basis, taking into account the risk of flooding in the downstream catchment and the existing level of service.
These guidelines are provided to help developers and their representatives determine the acceptable solution, in combination with our Engineering Standards for Land Development.
This guide outlines a list of possible options and includes the following:

This is intended to provide guidance for residential stormwater treatment, on a small scale, lot-by-lot basis. It covers:

Council is required to ensure that the impact of new development on flood risks for existing properties is minimised and, where possible, effectively mitigated.
Ongoing residential intensification and infill development is resulting in greater impervious surface coverage and increased total and peak stormwater runoff. Without mitigation, this will increase the risk of flooding for some properties in some parts of the city.
