Draft Onsite Wastewater Management Plan 2024-2029

The Onsite Wastewater Management Plan (OWMP) is an important document that is used in connection with the administration of Council’s Planning Scheme, significant flora and fauna and other stakeholders, such as GWMWater (as another Regulator), and the issue of Onsite Wastewater Management System (OWMS) permits.

The Onsite Wastewater Management Plan assists council to:

• Identify risks of harm and impacts to human health and the environment.
• Inform Council on what actions to take to improve decision-making associated with the issue of OWMS permits.
• Outline the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in the application and installation and/or connection process.

Council is seeking feedback on the draft management plan until 5pm on Thursday 15 August 2024.
