Managing our stormwater - Maroondah City Council. Recent flooding Maroondah’s stormwater drains have been put to the test recently with significant storm events and high levels of rain inundating Maroondah since November 2010.

Managing our stormwater - Maroondah City Council

Council's underground stormwater drains have been designed to a capacity of a one in five year magnitude storm, which is consistent with the industry standard. However, these recent storms were in the magnitude of a 1 in 20 year and 1 in 50 year event, based on the Bureau of Meteorology’s statistical data. To have them occur so close to each other, and on such a large scale, raises concerns about how often we can expect these types of storms in the future. The severity and frequency of the storms highlights the need to change the way we design and manage our stormwater. Council’s role in stormwater drainage Council has a responsibility to property owners to ensure that the Council owned and operated drainage system is clear and functioning so it can capture any stormwater.

Our Water - Maroondah City Council

Maintaining and improving the availability and quality of water is critical to ensuring this survival. There are numerous pressures on the quality of our waterways and water supply. Melbourne's growing population and climate change will result in less available water for more people. Urban development threatens the qualiy of water in our waterways from stormwater pollution such as oils, detergents, paints, building materials and litter. Yarra Valley Water.
