The Stormwater Management Policy for Development(PDF, 194KB) sets out requirements for the management of stormwater that interferes with, or has the potential to interfere with, the operation of the public stormwater system and requires consent under section 14(1) of the Urban Drainage Act 2013.

It provides a framework for the City to condition and manage stormwater in new developments, within the context of the Tasmanian Planning Scheme and defines the approach and measures adopted by the City to ensure that stormwater runoff generated by new developments is of an acceptable quality, does not exacerbate flooding, can be accommodated by the public stormwater system, and will not adversely impact the future capacity of the system.
