1.2. Lawful Point of Discharge
As outlined by the Queensland Urban Drainage Manual (4th Edition – Institute of Public Works Engineering
Australasia, Queensland Division) a test can be undertaken to determine whether a lawful point of
discharge exists:
The criteria for determining the lawful point of discharge are:
(i) Will the proposed development alter the site’s stormwater discharge characteristics in a manner
that may substantially damage a third-party property (see Section 3.6)?
If not, then no further steps are required to obtain tenure for a lawful point of discharge
(assuming any previous circumstances and changes were lawful).
It is proposed that discharge of runoff from the proposed development site will be maintained to the
property boundary within the mapped waterway.
It is considered that discharge from the site will be managed in such a manner as to not substantially
damage third party property, and as a result it is considered suitable lawful points of discharge has been
identified and achieved.
