Clearwater

Clearwater's first delivery will take place at the 7th International Conference on Water Sensitive Urban Design. Implementing and maintaining WSUD projects requires buy-in from numerous stakeholders within an organisation. Gaining organisational commitment is continually identified by practitioners as one of the key barriers to the uptake of WSUD projects. This one day workshop will provide participants with the skills to assess organisational capacity, build commitment into planning and policy, and engage stakeholders to adopt new initiatives.

Clearwater's latest technical tour has been designed for the 7th International Conference on Water Sensitive Urban Design. The tour will highlight how innovative WSUD stormwater treatment measures and harvesting systems contribute to a water sensitive city vision. The tour will visit new and established WSUD sites at a range of scales across Melbourne. Council experts, design consultants and project partners will be on hand at each site to provide valuable insights into the development and management of each project; discussing challenges, learning's and outcomes from concept to completion.

The tour highlights an array of WSUD stormwater treatment measures and harvesting systems across the City of Stonnington and Port Phillip. Council experts and design consultants will be onsite to provide insights into the development and management of each project, discussing challenges, learnings and outcomes from concept to completion.

Clearwater is proud to announce a new half day Growth Area WSUD tour in Hume City Council and the City of Whittlesea. The tour will include site visits to biofilters and wetlands in new housing estates, visits to council owned WSUD assets and town centre renewal projects incorporating WSUD and stormwater harvesting.
