Re: Storm Water Solution 4Jun 27, 2017 2:11 pm SaveH2O pommie have included a provisioning allowance of $30K for a storm water solution due to the fact the land slope very slightly to the rear. Why don't they do a much cheaper detention system? That's i guess what im trying to understand. Im not sure how this charged storm water solution operates or what it should cost but 30K did seem a lot to me. Re: Storm Water Solution 5Jun 27, 2017 4:26 pm There are a range of issues with stormwater which can all add to the cost.
To understand a bit more check out this link; http://anewhouse.com.au/2014/08/stormwa ... rge-point/ Without knowing anything about the block and the regulations for your area its hard to give an answer but I have seen posts on this site from people in Sydney that have had stormwater costs in excess of $40,000!

Re: Storm Water Solution 6Jun 27, 2017 4:38 pm Thanks for your response. All i know is that there is no natural fall to the street. There is no chance of an easement. The solution we be a charged water solution, i believe they mentioned having a 10,000l tank under each driveway. Anyway, it sounds like anything is possible in this instance. Cheers Re: Storm Water Solution 7Jun 27, 2017 6:49 pm Having the roof drainage plumbed to a detention system wouldn't be a problem with the "very slight slope" as described but the surface drainage is another matter. Most often the two are combined as an expensive pumped system and this requires two large pumps operating in duplicate to prevent one pump frequently cycling. The problem with pumped systems of course is that pumps require power but continuity of supply cannot be guaranteed during a big storm. I am a strong believer that there should be ground water recharge points installed on properties for a number of environmental reasons but most councils are not forward thinking. Having a roof drainage detention system and excess surface water diverted to a groundwater recharge point would have both environmental and cost benefits in your case. Perhaps you could investigate this possibility for your situation. You need to keep in mind that the BCA is promoted as a performance based document, something that bureaucrats often overlook in their zeal to look for applicable regulations. 3in1 Supadiverta.
