2015 Study Tour Report

by Ari Triskelidis

Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) forms an important part of integrated water management. Innovative stormwater management, such as WSUD, can contribute greatly to sustainability and liveability, particularly when considered as part of an overall urban strategy. Councils recognise the importance of stormwater management and are striving for more widespread implementation of WSUD in their municipalities. This report explores this issue and makes a number of recommendations to improve WSUD in a local government organisation.
