Stormwater Inspections

A Stormwater Connection Permit is required before connecting or making changes to Council’s drainage system.  Stormwater inspections are required to ensure that this work is performed to the Council’s standards.

Booking a stormwater inspection

You can book a stormwater inspection by:

• Phone: 9518 3555
• In person: at the Council’s offices

For all inspections, there are a few points to keep in mind:

• You must have a valid Stormwater Connection Permit approved before you can book the inspection (refer to permit number and expiry).
• You’ll have to book the inspection at least 24 hours before the inspection is required, however please note there are limited spaces available each day.
• A representative of the owner or contractor must be on site at the arranged inspection time. Additional inspections may need to be booked if no one attends at the inspection time.
• Inspections are not conducted on afternoons, weekends or public holidays.

Additional stormwater inspections

The stormwater connection permit includes some stormwater inspections.

• If the stormwater connection is to the kerb and channel without an on-site detention (OSD) system, the permit includes one drainage inspection.
• For all other types of stormwater connections (including those with on-site detention systems), the permit includes 2 drainage inspections.

When the drainage connection work is not to our standard or is incomplete, extra drainage inspections may need to be undertaken. An additional fee of $146.90 will be charged for each additional inspection.

Stormwater inspection written report

A written report of a stormwater inspection can be obtained for an additional cost of $35.30 per report. Please email mail@monash.vic.gov.au to request a report.
