Lot grading is the process of sloping land to direct surface water away from buildings. Lot grading plans are an essential part of the development approval process. They ensure that surface water runoff is managed appropriately on site. A detailed lot grading plan is required for most development applications. Please refer to the Sample Lot Grading Plan and Lot Grading Guide for specific application requirements. Lot grading plans are reviewed and accepted by the Manager of Engineering. Following lot grading plan approval, inspections take place and lot grading certificates are issued provided that grading has been completed according to plan.
In preparation for your inspection, please refer to the Lot Grading Guidelines: |
