1 Objective
The objective of the Shire of Nillumbik Drainage Design Guidelines is to
provide for the efficient, environmentally sensitive and cost effective control of
stormwater runoff and to ensure that a high level of safety and amenity for the
public is achieved at all times.
The Minor System consists of gutter and pipe networks and is typically
designed to pass frequent storm flows (10 year ARI). The Major System
consists of overland routes such as roads, drainage reserves, parklands etc.,
to pass infrequent storm flows (e.g. 100 year ARI).
For the design of the Major System, a blockage factor of 50% to the Minor
System inlet inflows must be adopted, the pipelines must be assumed as
clear.
It can be expected that during major storm events there will be floodwaters
flowing along streets, drainage reserves and through public open spaces
within new subdivisions. T therefore it is essential that during the initial
planning stage the following items are considered to determine the most
effective use of available land.
This concept also applies to existing urban areas for development of infill
subdivisions and site redevelopments which must take into consideration the
passage of overland flows for major storm events. This may require
developments to be kept clear of overland flow paths, the setting of floor
levels above predicted flood levels, the upgrading of existing drains, the
provision of drainage easements or reserves for overland flow paths, or other
methods that may be required to ensure the passage of major flood events.

3 Design of drainage systems
3.1 Hydrologic Design
The Australian Rainfall and Runoff (AR&R) 2001 (or subsequent updates) is
to be used as the source for Hydrological Design and base parameters.
However this information should be used in conjunction with any other local
information that is confirmable, such as flood levels for known storm events
and observed flow paths of major flood events.
3.1.2 Methods
The Rational Method must be used as the basis for determining the
peak flow rates for the determination of sizes of inlets, pipes and
culverts, and overland flow calculations. It is the designer’s
responsibility to use the most appropriate method for the situation under
investigation.
The design must take into account realistic future road patterns
where the contributing catchment includes areas subject to
future development.
In the situation where the outfall is into the existing pipe network, the
tailwater level must be taken as 150mm below, either the channel
invert for SEP or underside pit lid for JP, unless more accurate
information is available. Council may require the analysis to continue
downstream to confirm the hydraulic assumptions.

Where drops through pits are unavoidable the length of pits
should be increased to avoid flow impacting the opposite pit
wall.
Velocities in pipes must not be less than 0.6 m/s and not greater
than 6.0 m/s when the pipe is flowing greater than half full.

G:\Infrastructure_Development\Administration\Policy\DrainageDesignGuidelines\2011DrainageDesignGuidelinesDraft_10052012.doc
Curved pipelines must be used for pipelines greater than or
equal to 600mm diameter where the angle of deflection is
greater than 10 degrees. Curved pipes of diameter less than
600mm, and on large radius curves, may be used subject to
Council approval and compliance with manufacturer’s
specifications.
The design HGL must be at least 150mm below the kerb invert
for drains within road reserves or 75mm below the underside of
pit lids for drains within easements or reserves.

3.3 Pit Design
3.3.1 Hydraulic Design
It is essential that the inlet structures are designed to capture flows for
the design storm event for which the pipe system is designed to cater
for, otherwise flooding will occur regardless of the pipe system.
To increase the water intake into the pits at low points, double or
more pits are required.
SEPs on Grade
All pits back of kerb must be side entry pits unless on the high
side of the road.

ii) provide multiple pits (i.e. double or triple).
Pits must be used for all changes of direction for pipes and at start and
end of curved pipelines.
Side Entry Pits must generally be located at the tangent points of all
kerb returns, at all low points of road alignment, and spaced not more
than 90 metres.
Head loss factors for pits must be in accordance as per FIG 7.4.13 and
FIG 7.4.14 of Vic Roads Road Design Guidelines Part 7-Drainage.
Refer appendix-A, pages 11-17.
The limits in AR&R 1987 (for safety) is for the product of depth and
velocity of flow to be less than 0.4m2/s.

The minimum freeboard between the surface level at the boundaries of
private properties and the maximum flood level, based upon ARI of 100
years, must be 300mm.

3.6.2 Open Drains
Open drains must be appropriately sized to convey the 1 in 10 year ARI
event (in most cases the 1 in 100 year ARI also) and designed to ensure
scouring does not occur.
For steep grades Council may require the introduction of kerb and
channel and underground drainage or other methods of treatment to
properly manage scouring and the conveyance of stormwater.
