Development Connection Standards

The Development Connection Standards provides a single source of policies for citywide stormwater, wastewater,combined and water assets associated with development. Please note that this manual applies only to the Auckland City isthmus (it excludes systems operating on the Hauraki Gulf islands).

The Development Connection Standards is split into the relevant content areas, index, glossary and appendices. The standard drawings are split into drainage (12908/102 to 265) and Water Supply drawings (12908/502 to 528).
