New WAter Ways Training

WSUD Training Sessions

Optimising water sensitive urban design outcomes in Perth and Peel.

Recent State Planning Policies (SPP), particularly the Design WA suite and draft Planning for Water SPP, emphasise the importance of responding to site context as part of any planning or development activity.

These training sessions have been developed to share learnings from the application of water sensitive urban design over the last decade with a focus on using site context to optimise outcomes and are framed around site context that is representative of the key critical conditions in the Perth and Peel region. Additional sessions have also been developed to provide more detail around key areas of application.

These sessions are aimed at local government and industry planners, engineers, landscape architects, asset managers and developers to assist our industry to better deliver water sensitive cities in a Perth and Peel context.
