是这样理解吗:
If you’re downhill from a neighbour or any construction, you may experience water runoff entering your property. This may be historic or be the result of recent alterations at your neighbour’s property.
It’s important to manage stormwater on your land to avoiding damaging your neighbour’s property as well as your own. You are responsible for maintaining stormwater pipes, gutters, downpipes, gully pits and any other component of a drainage system related to your house or any other structure on the premises.
Generally, the law requires all owners to address their own water needs and restricts any development from increasing the natural flow to their neighbour.一般来说,法律要求所有业主解决自己的用水需求,并限制任何发展,以增加流向邻居的自然流量。
To avoid damaging your own or a neighbour’s property, you must make sure that your property’s stormwater system is connected to a legal point of discharge. This can be either to the public drainage system (including kerb and gutter) or an inter-allotment drainage system (within dedicated easements).
Runoff due to New Development
If the runoff is associated with a new development, you can talk to the Builder, the Certifier and/or Council as increasing the water flow is likely to be a breach of approval conditions.
You will need to document the issues and show a case that the development is causing the impact. Stormwater Sydney can assist by undertaking a Stormwater Investigation on your property.
When to get Council Involved?
Whilst Councils are reluctant to get involved in neighbourhood issues, they do have the responsibility under the Local Government Act and are often the only party that can bring a resolution across several neighbours.
Expect Council to advise that it is not their responsibility on first communication with them. But that doesn’t mean you can’t escalate it to your local Councillors as an issue. The Councils can get the staff to help resolve issues.
Council does have the power under the LG Act to direct a property owner to take action to remedy the flow to a neighbour.根据 LG 法案,市议会确实有权指示业主采取行动纠正流向邻居的流量。
