What matters for landscaping & gardening in Wollongong
Wollongong bans absorption systems outright on land with slope instability, loose sand, collapsing clays, rock and shale, slopes over 15 percent or extensive paving, unless an engineer designs it and a geotechnical engineer with local knowledge signs off. Where they are allowed, roof water must first pass through a 5,000 litre rainwater tank, and the trench must sit at least 3 m from boundaries and 5 m from all buildings.

Planning for Bush Fire Protection is the NSW Rural Fire Service's statutory instrument for development on bush fire prone land. If your lot is mapped as bush fire prone, that mapping drives the construction standard, so check it before you design anything.

Wollongong treats land as bush fire prone if there is significant vegetation on it or within up to 100 metres, which pulls in many escarpment-foot suburbs that do not feel rural. Complying development on that land needs a Bush Fire Attack Level certificate and is assessed against AS 3959. The council's bush fire prone land maps were updated on 19 August 2024, so an older planning certificate may be out of date.

BlueScope classifies Bulli and the open Pacific beaches as surf marine, the most aggressive category, while Port Kembla Inner Harbour and Lake Illawarra are classified calm. Two Wollongong properties 10 km apart therefore need different COLORBOND grades and different fixings. A roofer quoting the same product for Bulli and for Lake Illawarra is not reading the standard.
