The NSW Department of Planning, Housing & Infrastructure has published updated guidelines for erosion and sediment control on building sites less than 2,500m², replacing the 2001 guidelines. These guidelines, released in October 2024, aim to help builders manage erosion and sediment runoff from construction sites to protect waterways. They emphasize the importance of an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) and outline practical advice for builders to meet their obligations under development consent.
