Stormwater & Civil Design Excellence – Parramatta, NSW

Introduction

Delivering effective stormwater and civil infrastructure solutions is critical for urban developments in Parramatta, NSW. Poor planning can lead to delays, compliance issues, and costly redesigns.

At Apex Civil Engineers, we specialise in practical, compliant, and innovative engineering solutions. For this Parramatta project, our expertise helped the development secure approval while laying the groundwork for smooth construction.

Project Overview

The project required detailed stormwater and civil designs to support a Development Application (DA) in Parramatta. Apex Civil Engineers was tasked with:

● Designing stormwater systems that manage runoff efficiently

● Creating civil layouts aligned with council standards

● Producing technical documentation to support the DA submission

Because the site is in a busy urban area, our designs needed to ensure safety, regulatory compliance, and long-term performance.

Our Approach

(1) Stormwater Management

Effective stormwater design was central to the project’s success. Our team:

● Analysed surface runoff and potential flood risks

● Designed drainage solutions to protect the site and surrounding infrastructure

● Followed Parramatta City Council guidelines to ensure full compliance

Additionally, we considered sustainability and maintenance, providing solutions that perform well over time.

(2) Civil Infrastructure Design

Our civil design work focused on creating practical, buildable infrastructure:

● Road layouts and grading plans optimised for efficiency

● Integration of utilities to meet council and developer requirements

● Clear technical documentation to streamline approvals

As a result, the designs supported the DA submission while minimising the risk of delays or redesigns.

Project Outcome

The Development Application for the Parramatta project was approved successfully. Key outcomes include:

● Fully compliant stormwater and civil designs

● Optimised solutions for long-term site performance

● Smooth council approval process without delays

Following this success, Apex Civil Engineers has been appointed to complete the Construction Certificate documentation, supporting the next stage of development.
