Stormwater in Planning and Building Approvals
- Description
- Curriculum
About the Webinar
SPEL Stormwater introduces Guest Speaker Ian Adams presenting on permit approval processes in Victoria. This webinar covers:
- The Sustainable Design Assessment in Planning Process (SDAPP) program is used by most Melbourne metropolitan councils, as well as how IWM tools can be used to efficiently generate and assess the stormwater sustainability of planning permit applications.
- Planning Approvals: local Council MSS, local activity centre, VPP, and LPP policies that support and require stormwater sustainability assessment of applications.
- The 2018 VC154 VPP Clauses – These clauses were introduced in October 2018 into the Victorian Planning Provisions (VPP) and create new requirements beyond residential subdivisions and apartments.
- The 2018 SEPP(Waters) which gives Councils new powers to require stormwater retention, best-practice pollution reduction, and maintenance of WSUD assets.
- Building Approvals: How WSUD relates to Stormwater Connection Permits.
- Volume Management, and how the new ARR (Engineers Australia 2019) can be applied to Council drainage connection permits. The new ARR is significant because it is what the legal community will use when deciding cases of flood liability and professional practice.
The webinar runs for 45 minutes with a 15 minute Q&A session after the presentation.
