Stormwater Bylaw 2015

This bylaw helps protect Auckland’s public stormwater network. It includes rules about connections, use, nearby activities and private systems.

What the Stormwater Bylaw does

The bylaw:

  • applies to public stormwater network and private stormwater systems
  • ensures that land is drained by protecting the public stormwater network from damage, misuse and interference
  • requires on-site stormwater devices on private land to be well maintained, as they form part of the wider stormwater network
  • manages activities on private property that have adverse impacts on the public stormwater network
  • enables the council to develop stormwater controls for specific areas and local issues.
