8. General Process and Development Standards Policy &
6. Development Contribution Policy
Pursuant to Clause 103 of District Town Planning Scheme No. 20 Council has
adopted, for the purposes of community consultation, the following draft local
planning policy provisions:
6F – Drainage Infill Contributions Provisions.
8C – Storm Water Management Policy Provisions.
The draft Policy Provisions seek to:
1. Update the volumetric capacity of stormwater to be retained on a lot as a
result of development;
2. Specify ‘on lot’ measures to improve the quality of stormwater entering
the City’s drainage system and the environment, consistent with contemporary
water sensitive urban design measures;
3. Update and revise the methodology for developer contributions for
upgrading of the City’s local and main drainage system where the target level
of ‘on lot’ retention of stormwater is impractical or where subdivision and
development will contribute to the need to upgrade public infrastructure;
4. Ensure the policy provisions integrate with existing Building Code of
Australia requirements, Australian Standards and Engineering Technical
Specifications for ease of use.
A copy of the draft Policy Provisions may be viewed at the City Offices, Southern
Drive, Busselton and the Busselton and Dunsborough Libraries during opening
