Performance Standards for Rainwater Drainage Systems

It is the view of the Department that the requirements of regulation 82 will be met if – (a) rainwater from a building is carried away from the surface by a drainage system; and (b) a rainwater drainage system – (i) carries the flow of rainwater from the building to an outfall connected to a soakaway, a water course or a combined sewer; (ii) minimises the risk of blockage or leakage; and (iii) is accessible for clearing blockages.
