oct 6, 2006 - Clause 56.07 takes effect

Description:

reused water, recycled water and stormwater;
• conserve the supply and reduce the use of potable water;
• use alternative water supplies where potable water quality is not required, and
• use best practice water sensitive design techniques to conserve, reuse and recycle water and manage the quality of stormwater run-off4.
