Road and Drainage Guidelines

Council provides engineering guidelines and standard drawings for property owners, developers, service authorities, consultants and contractors.

These drawings fall into two categories:

  1. For new and growth areas.

2. For older infrastructure. These can be found in the Hume City Council Standard Drawings below.

If you require assistance regarding a development in an existing residential street or established estate, please refer to Statutory Planning or Civil Assets teams for more information.

Engineering Design and Construction Manual

The Victorian Planning Authority provides the Engineering Design and Construction Manual. This outlines the engineering standards for new and growth areas within Hume. These standards are common to other surrounding growth area councils.

Hume Standard Drawings

Council also publishes a set of standard drawings. These Standard Drawings can be used in areas outside the urban growth and for infrastructure that is not detailed in EDCM.

Council's Standard Drawings will be updated from time to time as required, without prior notice. It is the responsibility of interested party to regularly check revision history and download revised Standard Drawings.
