Consultation closed on Friday, 3 September 2021.


The Council is proposing some amendments to the current bylaws which manage discharges of all trade wastes and wastewater into the wastewater system.

The main proposed changes are:

  • to simplify the way low risk premises are charged for trade waste discharges
  • who can work on drains
  • to simplify the system for ‘common drains’ (private drains with multiple connections).
