Council and approvals in Williamstown

Williamstown is in the City of Hobsons Bay. 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

Hobsons Bay City Council describes the legal point of discharge as the point it designates where runoff from a property must be discharged, usually a stormwater drain, kerb, pit or channel. The council says the outlet from a property up to that point is a private asset, and owners maintain the connections between their internal drainage and the council network, including the connection point in a street, laneway, public land or easement. The council maintains drains from the legal point of discharge onward.

Official council pages: City of Hobsons Bay: stormwater 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 Williamstown

Water and sewer services in Williamstown 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.
