These guidelines have been developed to provide technical guidance and direction to developers and engineering consultants.

Using the guidelines

By preparing paving and drainage plans in accordance with the guidelines, engineering consultants can have confidence that plans should be able to be assessed and approved by Council with minimal amendments.

Design checklist

We suggest that engineering consultants provide a completed Engineering Development Design Checklist when submitting paving and drainage plans.
