Draft Stormwater Developer Works Policy - Engagement Outcomes Report Released

In late 2023, Sydney Water launched a public consultation on the draft Stormwater Developer Works Policy, seeking feedback from the development industry. The consultation ran over eight weeks, and included and online survey and a Developer Briefing Session.

We thank the industry for taking the time to provide submissions on the Policy.

This Engagement Outcomes Report provides an overview of the feedback shared during the consultation process and actions to be taken by Sydney Water. This feedback is being used to inform the finalisation of the Policy.

Please note: Sydney Water is nearing finalisation of the NSW Government approval process for funding of the Mamre Road Stormwater scheme. Once approval is granted and the Development Services Plan has been registered with IPART, Sydney Water can enter into commercial agreements with developers and landowners for the funding of developer delivered stormwater infrastructure. Consequently, any expenditure by a developer / landowner on stormwater infrastructure prior to finalisation of this approval process remains at their own risk. Until then, Sydney Water will not take ownership of, nor reimburse costs associated with unapproved stormwater infrastructure or servicing.
