New WAter Ways WSUD Training Sessions

New WAter Ways has delivered a number of training sessions to build industry knowledge and optimise water sensitive urban design outcomes across our communities.

The series "Context is critical - using site context to guide WSUD solutions" is framed around site conditions that are representative of the landscapes of the Perth and Peel region. Additional sessions have also been developed to provide more detail around key areas of application.
