Land development

Our development services team works with developers, engineering consultants, builders and property owners who are developing, re-developing or subdividing property within our service region.

The team responds to all planning referrals, applications for servicing requirements, and letters of offer. The team also administers the Land Development Manual and associated policies.

 

  

Land Development Manual (LDM)

Barwon Water's Land Development Manual (LDM) is a detailed set of policies and procedures for land development, subdivisions, and new connections.

The manual provides a detailed guide for developers, engineering consultants, landowners, surveyors and councils when developing or redeveloping land.

The LDM does not address pricing regulated by the Essential Services Commission.

Accredited consultants and contractors

Barwon Water infrastructure must be designed and built by accredited contractors.

If you are undertaking works which, in the future, will become Barwon Water assets (e.g. extending a water main) you must use engineering consultants and contractors (plumbers, excavators, builders, civil engineers, etc.) accredited by us.

These lists are presented in random order, to avoid any perceived preference to particular businesses.
