A Domestic Wastewater Management Plan is a requirement under the provisions of the State Environment Protection Policy (Waters of Victoria) and enables council to effectively manage the risks associated with domestic wastewater across the shire.
The DWMP covers the assessment of new installations and alterations across the entire shire. It also sets out a requirement to make sure existing systems do not pose a threat to the environment, particularly in areas that are part of Declared Potable Water Catchments.
