Soil and water management plans

Planning permits often include a requirement for a developer to control erosion and sediment on a development site with a soil and water management plan.

Depending on the scale and nature of the development, the permit may require that a soil and water management plan is approved by the City of Hobart prior to the commencement of construction. You can seek approval through our condition endorsement process.

For guidance on preparing a soil and water management plan, see the Erosion and Sediment Control on Development Sites documents on the Derwent Estuary Program website.
