Part 4 – Stormwater Drainage

4.2    MPDC Stormwater Management Bylaw

The intention of stormwater management bylaws is to manage stormwater within the Matamata-Piako District so as to protect people, property and the environment by minimising the impact of flooding, erosion and environmental pollution.

Stormwater management bylaws are in addition to controls on stormwater imposed by the Waikato Regional Council and the Matamata-Piako District Council under the Resource Management Act 1991, the Building Act 2004, or any other Act, Regulation or Bylaw. 

Designers should be familiar with the Council’s stormwater management bylaws in their entirety.  A copy of the relevant bylaws can be found on Council’s website.
