Residential SWMP with STORM assessment and on-site detention strategy
Representative stormwater imagery from the approved project image set.
This project involved a three-unit residential development in Surf Coast Shire, with each dwelling requiring roof runoff capture, reuse, and site-wide water-quality treatment. The SWMP addressed the increase in impervious area from new dwellings, garages, shared access, pedestrian paths, and paved areas, while setting out how stormwater would be managed during both construction and operation.
The proposed strategy combined 6,000 L of rainwater tank storage across the dwellings with a 16 m² raingarden treating runoff from the shared accessway. STORM modelling returned a 104% rating, confirming the treatment train exceeded the required compliance threshold, while the detention strategy identified how post-development discharge would be controlled through detailed design.
STORM rating achieved against the 100% compliance threshold.

SWMP prepared against the Infrastructure Design Manual, Clause 56, Surf Coast Shire requirements, and WSUD expectations.
OSD strategy based on the Swinburne methodology, with final detention sizing to be refined through detailed design.
