Buildings and other works are designed and               Floor levels for habitable rooms are not less than the
sited to                                                 specified minimum floor levels;
a) provide flood free access to premises and flood       AND
    free habitable areas;
b) allow only minor, short term and infrequent           S18.2
     flooding of non-habitable areas;                    Where Council infrastructure is available
c) ensure drainage does not adversely impact             a) any drainage (from buildings and land) flows to
     upon other premises; and                                that infrastructure; and
d) ensure filling or excavation does not adversely       b) the infrastructure has the capacity to accept any
     impact upon other premises by                           additional loading.
     i. causing ponding of water on the site or
          nearby land;
     ii. increasing flooding, which adversely
          affects the safety or use of any land
          upstream and downstream; and
     iii. adversely affecting the flow of water in any
          overland flow path.
