Legal Point of Discharge - stormwater

The Legal Point of Discharge (LPoD) is a point specified by Council where stormwater from a property must be discharged. This point is usually a Council stormwater drain, street kerb and channel or a roadside drain.

The property owner is responsible for ensuring the stormwater drainage from the property is connected to a LPoD as well as the maintenance of the drain between the property and the LPoD.

Applying for a LPoD does not provide information relating to the internal private drainage system on a property.
