We have engaged a consultant to prepare a Plan detailing how onsite wastewater and stormwater will be managed in the Southern Beaches. The aim of the plan is to protect public health and the environment, and assist with long term planning for the Southern Beaches community.

The Plan will provide advice on the suitability of on-site wastewater and stormwater and include recommendations on design standards, mitigation measures and management.

Advice will be included on the suitability of on-site wastewater in the Southern Beaches and evaluate if de-centralised wastewater schemes are required or feasible. It will also be used to inform the future Southern Beaches Structure Plan and will assist in identifying areas suitability for development.
