On-site Stormwater Detention Download Centre

The Trust’s On-site Stormwater Detention Handbook was developed in conjunction with Parramatta City Council, Baulkham Hills Shire Council, Blacktown City Council and Holroyd City Council and was adopted by each of the councils in November 1991. This Handbook spells out the OSD policy and provides guidance for OSD designers, property owners and others involved with development. Although primarily concerned with the Upper Parramatta River Catchment, the Handbook also shows how the procedure on which the policy is based can be adapted to provide approximate parameters in other locations.

The OSD Handbook has been made available for public download in Adobe Acrobat Format.  If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Viewer installed click here to download it. Also available are the OSD calculation spreadsheets and a brochure explaining On-site Stormwater Dentention.

The latest version of the Handbook is the 4th Edition, which is dated December 2005. However during the transition between handbooks councils may prefer that you use the 3rd Edition. Please confirm with council as to which version is appropriate for your development.
