Easements on private property are used for services such as drainage and sewerage.
Private construction over a Council easement needs approval.
If you want to build any structure over an easement you need to apply for a building over easement (BOE).
The fee for a BOE application is one off time payment of $128.
Apply online for a Build over an Easement and submit relevant documents with your application as listed below:
Up to date copy of title to identify current owner and any mortgagees or encumbrances on the land.
Yarra Valley Water consent to build over an easement. Contact Yarra Valley Water or call 1300 651 511.
Plan of proposed works including site plan and elevation in either A3 or A4 size.
If you need a build over easement s173 agreement the preparation fee is $1,115.
Contact us if you need to cancel your application.
If our existing drainage system can’t cope with an increase of runoff, an onsite drainage (OSD) system is a requirement of the planning process.
An OSD system helps retain stormwater onsite during heavy rainfall and releases water slowly through a constrained outlet. This limits peak discharge from the site.
Local developments that have the potential to increase stormwater runoff will generally need an OSD system.
The cost will be $571 to $1,298. We base our fees on the number of units or apartments proposed on the plan.
Extra costs apply if you need to make changes to your OSD plans.
Download the OSD Design checklist and OSD guidelines.
Make sure you complete the design checklist correctly and that it is signed before submitting your OSD plans or OSD amended design plans.
Apply online by selecting 'Apply now' below.
You will need to complete an OSD amendments application to make changes to existing engineering plans. You will need to complete the application for constructing an outfall drain and for general drainage works. You will also need to submit revised engineering plans for re-approval and we may need to reinspect the site.
The cost will be $324 to $893. We base our fees on the number of units or apartments proposed on the plan.
We will notify you that we have received your application.
We will send you an email once we have approved your plan. This can take between 4 to 12 weeks. We may ask for more information in the meantime.
Once we have all the required information, we will assess your designs to check they are consistent with the legal point of discharge.
After receiving approval of an OSD system, you will also need approval to connect to our drains. The works and drainage permit is a requirement to connect into our drains and to do works on our road reserves or an easement.
Apply for a works and drainage permit
Ask us to inspect your complete OSD system so you can be sure it complies with the approved designs.
Depending on the changes you need to make, we may charge you for another inspection.
We can only sign a Certificate of Occupancy after the OSD system passes inspection.
You can install drainage infrastructure to service your property.
Any stormwater management system shouldn’t cause adverse effects on nearby properties.

Stormwater that falls on a property is collected and drained to what is usually the lowest point on the property, which is known as the ‘legal point of discharge’.
This collected stormwater is then ‘discharged’ or released to the Council stormwater system, which is usually an underground drain in the street or in a property easement.
If no underground drain is available, the stormwater is drained to the ‘kerb and channel’ in the nearby street.
In some cases, the property owner will be required to construct a new drain to connect with the Council’s stormwater system. This is known as the 'point of connection'.
The property owner is responsible for the construction and maintenance for all drains, including drains outside of the property boundary, up to the Council’s stormwater system.
A legal point of discharge (POD) can be one of the following.
A POD is usually:
Before any issuing of a building permit, you must get a POD report for any work that has a drainage system. This will help a building surveyor make sure that the design of the internal drainage system is:
An application for a POD is a requirement for developments that include stormwater drainage systems.
You may also need to obtain a legal point of discharge report, if you are preparing Engineering Plans for our approval.
The cost for the POD is $163
You can apply online for a LPOD.
After submitting your application fee, we’ll email you with the relevant details within 10 working days.
The Legal Point of Discharge Report will provide information on:
The report does not contain information regarding the existing private stormwater system on the property or the existing point of connection.

Connecting our community through safe footpaths is one of the ways we’re building a better Manningham.
As part of our 2024/25 Capital Works Program, we’re constructing a footpath to provide a link along Heidelberg Warrandyte Road, Doncaster East from Blackburn Road to Andersons Creek Road.
Works will include:
Where is it?
The footpath will be built on Heidelberg Warrandyte Road, Doncaster East (between Blackburn Road and Andersons Creek Road).
Why is the footpath needed?
This footpath is the missing link along Heidelberg Warrandyte Road. It will provide footpath access between Blackburn Road and Andersons Creek Road.
When will the works happen?
The project is scheduled to start in late August 2024, and will be completed by the end of 2024. Timelines are subject to weather conditions and contractor availability.
The works will take place in two stages:
How will the works affect me?
The works will take place within the reserve along Heidelberg Warrandyte Road. We don’t anticipate any disruption to property access.
There may be minor delays as works are occurring on site. We will have traffic management and signage on site to guide you through the area.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to improve the footpath connections in your area.
Questions?
If you have any questions about these works or our footpaths program, contact us.
You will need an asset protection permit for any building work that can potentially damage or destroy Manningham assets. These include:
The permit helps us monitor potential damage. This keeps people safe and authorises us to make sure damaged public assets are fixed.
All building activities and projects require a building permit including:
An applicant is any person or company who is responsible for the works. They will be responsible and liable for any damages and repairs required to the satisfaction of Manningham. The permit also protects the applicant from paying for any damages present prior to the commencement of building work.
A property owner or an applicant may be breaching local laws and can receive an infringement notice or penalty if they don’t obtain a permit. Enforcement actions can also lead to legal prosecution and the Magistrate’s Court will determine the punishment.
If you are an owner or builder, you must obtain a permit at least 10 business days before the commencement of any works.
Applications take about 10 business days to process. A permit will only be issued once the permit fee and bond have been paid.
A non-refundable permit fee is $440 plus a security bond determined by the works and land.
A non-refundable permit fee will range between $621 and $20,000 plus the required security bond. The amount payable will depend on the scope and value of the development. The permit fee will be determined by the City Infrastructure manager.
Our asset protection officer will determine the security bond after an initial site inspection. We will make a security bond determination after a site inspection. The amount will range between $1000 and $20,000. The amount will consider the nature and extent of the works.
Commercial developments of works that pose a higher risk to our assets may incur a bond greater than $20,000.
If there is no damage or the applicant repairs any damage after the completion of building work, the applicant will receive a refund for the security bond.
A bond may be used to remedy:
It is the responsibility of the applicant to repair damage caused by other authorities before receiving a security bond refund. If we are required to repair any damages that exceeds the bond amount further charges may apply. The applicant will receive a separate invoice in such an event.
The fee increase covers road asset administration and associated inspection costs of the permits.
We will send two separate invoices to you for the asset protection fee and the required bond.
Pay your application fee online using the APR number.
Pay your security bond online using the BND number.
We’ll issue a permit and send it to you.
If you are no longer doing any work requiring an asset protection permit, contact us to cancel your application or permit. If you have already made a payment, a decision will be made on any applicable refund.
