AUS-SPEC

We use AUS-SPEC planning, design, and construction for civil engineering works associated with subdivisions and development.

You’ll find design specifications, construction standards, checklists and drawings for civil infrastructure design and construction.

Supplemental information

D05 - Stormwater Drainage Design and D07 - Stormwater Quality 

These files enable design submissions to be compliant with Council's Aus-Spec Design Specifications: D05 - Stormwater Drainage and D07 - Stormwater Quality. 

Conceptual on-site detention (OSD) calculator to assist in concept level design / sizing of volumes and orifice for infill development only. The tool is not to be used for detailed design, ‘For Construction’ design purposes, or developments on lots larger than 1,200m2. Open the Excel file and click on the macro button “Start OSD calculator CLICK HERE” within the OSD Calculator sheet to initiate the macro-based program. If this tool has been used to assist in development of a conceptual stormwater design for DA purposes, please provide a screenshot of the entire OSD calculator window with the stormwater plan.

The adoption of the AUS-SPEC Construction and Design specifications ensures that Council is at the forefront of the Construction industry.  

Council acknowledges that the documented specifications will not cover every situation or site-specific circumstance and views its approach to developing these standards as key to a long-term partnership that supports industry innovation. Council is genuinely committed to working with industry to define practical and meaningful standards that deliver for our community.

Water and Sewer Specifications

Council has adopted the Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) National Codes as the base specification for all water and sewerage works. In addition, PMHC has developed Supplements to the National Codes to accommodate Council’s needs and preferences as well as local construction practices and products.

The latest WSAA National Codes are available for purchase and download via the WSAA website.

 The PMHC supplement documents can be viewed here:

PMHC SUPPLEMENT to WSA Gravity Sewerage and Pump Station Codes(PDF, 402KB)

PMHC SUPPLEMENT to WSA Water Supply Code(PDF, 15MB)

The Water and Sewer Standard Drawings can be viewed online using the links below: 

ASD Water 400 Series(PDF, 7MB)

ASD Sewer 500 Series(PDF, 28MB) 

Council intends to update both the Water and Sewerage Standard Drawings and Supplements every two years or as required to reflect changes in both Council’s policies and developments in industry practices and products. Collaboration with the industry is essential, and Council encourages feedback on the supplements and standard drawings at any time by completing the form below.
