Brisbane City Council has extended the grandfathering period for Council’s list of approved proprietary stormwater treatment devices by 18 months with a new deadline of 10 December 2025.
This extension follows challenges faced by Stormwater Australia which has reported a lower than expected number of products approved, limiting the diversity and choice of products available for Brisbane.
Stormwater Australia’s new hybrid lab testing protocol for Stormwater Quality Improvement Device Evaluation Protocol (SQIDEP) applications is anticipated to be implemented.
This protocol is expected to enhance the product verification process by incorporating laboratory testing as part of the SQIDEP verification.
