Who is Responsible for Stormwater Drainage in Sydney?

Local Council

Local councils are responsible for maintaining stormwater drains outside residential property. They are responsible for ensuring that the public drainage system functions correctly to prevent flooding and waterlogging.

Sydney Water

 Sydney Water oversees the stormwater channels and pipes across 37 local council areas. They run multiple projects to treat and improve stormwater quality, ensuring the system works efficiently.

Property Owners

As a property owner, you’re responsible for the pipes and infrastructure on your property up to the council’s connection point. Proper maintenance of these systems is crucial to avoid drainage issues.

Some legal points of discharge where your stormwater enters public drains are:

  • Street kerbs and channels
  • Rubble pits or soakage pits
  • Council drains

Important Note: You cannot redirect surface runoff to your neighbour’s property. If stormwater from your neighbour’s property affects you, start by discussing the issue with them. If that doesn’t resolve the problem, report it to your local council.
