Council and approvals in Bannockburn

Bannockburn is in the Golden Plains Shire. Your council is the first stop for questions about stormwater at your property, including the legal point of discharge, the place where your stormwater is allowed to leave the block. It also handles street trees, works on the nature strip and, depending on the job, local planning rules such as heritage and neighbourhood character overlays.

If you are planning drainage changes, a new bathroom that adds a drain connection or work near a street tree, ask the council what applies before work starts. Your plumber can tell you what the plumbing side needs, and the council tells you what the planning and local-law side needs. Rules differ between properties, so check the details for your address on the council's website or by phone.

What the council says

Golden Plains Shire says its drainage network includes over 3000 kilometres of open drains and over 54 kilometres of underground drainage, much of it in road, recreation and drainage reserves or in drainage easements on private property. It also notes that open drains on flat grades can hold water for periods as it soaks into the soil or evaporates, and that standing water does not always mean a drain is blocked. If your property has an easement, the shire's drainage easements FAQ explains rights and responsibilities.

Official council pages: Golden Plains Shire: drainage. These pages describe the council's own process, and the rules that apply depend on your address, so confirm the details with the council.

Who looks after what in Bannockburn

Water and sewer services in Bannockburn are run by Barwon Water, which covers Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and the Surf Coast. Barwon Water looks after the street mains and sewer main. Barwon Water states that its sewer responsibility runs from the sewer main to the first inspection opening or one metre inside the property boundary, whichever is less, and that everything after that point is the owner's.
