Prepare Your Building Site for the Rain

Sediment and Erosion Management

To protect our environment and local waterways, builders and homeowners must proactively stop sediment loss and erosion from their properties during the rainy months.

This means:

• Keeping your site clean and removing debris regularly
• Securing stockpiles of materials
• Managing access points
• Connecting downpipes to direct stormwater and prevent erosion

Your responsibilities are outlined in the Shire of Augusta Margaret River Erosion and Sediment Control Local Law 2019.
