Peel-Harvey WSUD Tour

Water Sensitive Urban Design: Self-Drive Tour (Peel-Harvey)

This map has been provided to facilitate a self-guided tour of water sensitive urban design sites in the Peel-Harvey catchment.

It identifies ten urban development sites in the Mandurah and Pinjarra regions which exhibit current best practice in water sensitive urban design in 2008.

The site numbers indicate the most efficient pathway around all ten sites and a brief description is provided of the key water sensitive urban design practices incorporated into each design.

Each site tackles the management of water resources in a different way, responding to the conditions and constraints of the site and delivering an urban form which is liveable and vibrant.

Each design has the support of the local government in terms of management and maintenance of the water quality and quantity management measures employed. Both Councils are also working actively to reduce water use within public open spaces, utilising water reuse where possible.

We hope you enjoy the experience and opportunity to view these innovative solutions to better urban water management.
