A framework for integrating water sensitive urban design into open space
May 26, 2010
Water by Design (QLD) has released a Framework for the Integration of Flooding and Stormwater Management into Open Space. It details best practice approaches for integrating water sensitive urban design (WSUD) elements into multiple use open spaces. The intent of the framework is to enhance public open space and provide incentives for higher standards of WSUD. The Urban Land Development Authority Guideline No. 12: Park Planning and Design (Consultation Draft) references the document as the Framework for Multiple Use Public Open Space for WSUD. The framework was developed based on research, case studies, and stakeholder consultation which are presented in the Multiple Use of Open Space Discussion Paper.
