Stormwater & Hydraulic Engineering – Strive Engineering

Stormwater Management Plans

We specialise in stormwater design for residential, commercial, and industrial developments. Our stormwater engineers prepare detailed management plans for:

– Development Applications (DA)
– Complying Development Certificates (CDC)
– Construction Certificate (CC) submissions


Projects we’ve worked on range from granny flats, apartment buildings, industrial complexes, and commercial developments, ensuring every system is efficient, compliant, and sustainable.

At Strive Engineering, we provide expert stormwater and hydraulic engineering services across Sydney. Rapid urban growth and new developments place increasing strain on existing stormwater infrastructure, making compliance with council stormwater policies one of the key hurdles for project approvals. Our team of experienced stormwater engineers and hydraulic engineers understands these requirements and works closely with local councils to deliver stormwater designs that are efficient, compliant, and approved quickly.
Our solutions are tailored to the specific needs of each site, fully compliant with Australian Standards and the Building Code of Australia (BCA).

Flood Studies, Modelling, Reports & Certificates

Our team provides flood studies, hydraulic modelling, and management reports for flood-prone properties using advanced software. We also issue certificates and reports for CDC submissions, helping to streamline council approval processes

Stormwater Inspections & WAE Certification

We perform stormwater inspections during construction to ensure projects comply with council development requirements. Once works are complete, our team coordinates Work As Executed (WAE) plans and certification, eliminating the need for multiple consultants and speeding up final approval.

Hydraulic Analysis Reports

We provide detailed hydraulic analysis of existing stormwater trunk systems, easements, and drainage networks to support Development Applications (DA). Our hydraulic designs optimise water flow, reduce flooding risk, and ensure long-term functionality.

Public Domain Works & Driveway Designs

Strive Engineering is accredited to design and certify public domain works, including:

– Council crossings and footpaths
– Residential and commercial driveway designs (long sections and details to AS2890.1)


Our team ensures all works are compliant, safe, and approved efficiently by council.

Sediment & Erosion Control

Effective sediment and erosion control is critical for protecting waterways and minimising environmental impact during construction. Our stormwater engineers design erosion and sediment control plans tailored to your site, including:

– Sediment basins, silt fences, and erosion mats
– Temporary and permanent measures to reduce soil loss
– Integration with overall stormwater management and hydraulic design


These controls help ensure compliance with council regulations and environmental standards.
