Practical, council-ready stormwater and drainage solutions for developments of every size.
Effective stormwater management is not optional — it is a fundamental requirement of every development approval in Victoria. At QED Consulting Engineers, our civil engineering team designs stormwater drainage and on-site detention systems that are technically sound, compliant with council and Melbourne Water requirements, and value-engineered to keep construction costs under control.
We understand the local regulatory environment and work efficiently with building surveyors, council planners, and construction teams to deliver civil packages that move your project forward without delays.
Our civil engineering scope covers the full range of stormwater and drainage challenges encountered in urban and peri-urban Melbourne:
Complete drainage network design for single dwellings, dual occupancies, multi-unit developments, and commercial sites — including pipe sizing, pit scheduling, and connection to council infrastructure.
Many Melbourne councils require on-site detention tanks to limit post-development stormwater discharge rates. We design OSD systems that meet council specifications and integrate efficiently into your overall civil design.
Drainage design for land subdivision projects, including lot grading, road drainage, and connection to council stormwater systems.
Infrastructure-scale drainage design for apartment complexes, mixed-use developments, commercial precincts, and sites with basement car parks.
Review of existing civil documentation, pre-application advice, and value engineering of drainage solutions proposed by others.
Good civil engineering is not just about getting water from A to B. It's about finding drainage solutions that are:
From a straightforward single-dwelling drainage plan to a complex multi-stage subdivision, QED brings the same level of attention to detail to every civil commission.
Our civil engineering clients include homeowners, builders, architects, building designers, town planners, and land developers. We regularly work alongside structural and geotechnical engineering teams to provide fully coordinated civil and structural documentation packages for permit applications and construction.
