Council and approvals in Heidelberg

Heidelberg is in the City of Banyule. 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

Banyule Council says stormwater drains from a property to an allocated location, probably an underground drain or the kerb and channel, known as the legal point of discharge. Drainage on private property up to that point is the owner's responsibility, and issues beyond it are the council's. It advises keeping gutters, downpipes and pits clear, making sure excess stormwater has an overland flow path, and calling a licensed plumber for a suspected pipe blockage. It also says that if a property is listed as flood prone, the owner can expect to be affected by flood water after heavy rain.

Official council pages: Banyule Council: flooding and your property. 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 Heidelberg

Water and sewer services in Heidelberg 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
