Engineering minimum standards

Council’s Engineering Design Minimum Standards for Subdivision and Developments Version 2 - 2023 (PDF 2MB)  outlines procedures and practices regarding engineering design requirements for subdivisions and development of land within the Tamworth Regional Council area.

These minimum standards help to ensure that engineering plan submissions can be processed efficiently in relation to issuing Construction Certificates, Subdivision Works Certificates, Occupation Certificates and the release of Subdivision Certificates.
If you’re a Developer or Consultant, please make sure you’re referencing the most up to date version of the Minimum Standards. If any changes are made, they will be summarised in the appendix and the front cover version number will be updated.
