Sustainable Drainage and Permeable Paving in Development Plans

use of permeable paving for the developable area of a zoned site could be provided for through the stipulation of a key site requirement. Annex C provides further guidance on sustainable drainage systems which ought to be considered. The Department supports a multi-disciplined approach to plan making with planners working with engineers, environmentalists and the community to formulate solutions to flooding problems. When formulating development plans, planning authorities will have a statutory duty to consult with the Stormwater Management Group, or other body that may ultimately be assigned authority in this regard through future legislation.
