Council and approvals in Mount Duneed

Mount Duneed sits across the boundary of the City of Greater Geelong and the Surf Coast Shire, so the council that applies depends on your exact address. Check your rates notice or ask both councils before you rely on any of the points below. 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

The City of Greater Geelong says that on private property the roof, gutters, downpipes, pits and underground drains form a privately owned stormwater system, and the owner is responsible for keeping it connected to the legal point of discharge and working, up to and including that point. The council cares for its own drainage from the legal point of discharge onward, and it says it does not hold plans of private underground pipes because plumbers are not required to send them in. It recommends using a licensed plumber for drainage problems, and it requires permission before anyone builds over an easement.

Surf Coast Shire says it maintains council-owned stormwater assets, including drains and pits in streets and designated drainage easements on private property. It notes that the Victorian Building Regulations require stormwater from new buildings to be discharged at a point nominated by the council. It also advises owners whose property is within a flood overlay to understand their flood risk and how to prepare.

Official council pages: City of Greater Geelong: legal point of discharge; Surf Coast Shire: water. These pages describe the council's own process, and the rules that apply depend on your address, so confirm the details with the council.
