Council and approvals in Brighton

Brighton is in the City of Bayside. 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

Bayside City Council says stormwater from any building or development must be collected and piped to a legal point of discharge, normally a drain in the street, a drain in an easement, a suitable private drain, or a Melbourne Water main drain where permission is given. For individual houses, dual occupancies and small shops it may be piped to the kerb and channel if there are no underground drains nearby. It sets approved pipe materials and minimum sizes, and you can request a legal point of discharge through its online form.

Official council pages: Bayside City Council: legal point of discharge. 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 Brighton

Water and sewer services in Brighton are run by a Melbourne water retailer. Your water bill shows which one serves your address. Responsibility for mains, meters and sewers differs between retailers and, in some cases, between properties, so check your retailer's website for the rule that applies to your address. As a general guide, the retailer deals with the street mains and sewer, and a plumber deals with pipes, taps, fittings and drains inside your property. If you are not sure whose fault it is, ring us and describe what you can see.

When to call straight away

Water coming through a ceiling, a burst pipe, sewage backing up inside or a smell of gas. For gas, leave the building and follow the Energy Safe Victoria steps on our emergency plumbing page. Then call 0401 041 103.
