Project information
Council undertook a review of the Maroondah Domestic Wastewater Management Strategy.
The updated draft strategy, in line with requirements of the Environment Protection Authority’s Obligations for Managers of Land and Infrastructure includes:
An assessment of the management of onsite domestic wastewater and the risks posed to human health and environment;
Council’s approach to compliance; and
An action plan to address the identified risks from the use of onsite wastewater management systems (septic tank systems) in Maroondah.
Council asked residents who operate an onsite wastewater management system (OWMS) to review the draft strategy and provide feedback on managing the risks associated with the use of OWMS for household wastewater.
