The HCCREMS WSUD Demonstration Site Register presents regional case studies exhibiting water sensitive urban design (WSUD) features, designed to advance a range of sustainable water management objectives, such as to protect downstream waterways, reduce mains drinking water demand, improve urban amenity and biodiversity, and reduce infrastructure life-cycle costs.
The geographic scope of the register is the region covered by the Central and Lower Mid-north Coasts, and the Hunter Valley - an area more or less corresponding to that administered by the Hunter Central Rivers Catchment Management Authority, one of the principal financial supporters of the register's initial development.
Whilst the register was established in March 2008, it contains sites that were developed since the mid-1990's; most sites, however, have been developed since the year 2000. The information has been added by a range of contributors, including local councils, water utilities and water authorities, developers and consultants. Hunter Councils Environment Division has also contributed sites that have been developed by such organisations where it considers that they provide worthwhile examples of WSUD or integrated water cycle management (IWCM).
You are welcome to become a registered user and contribute information on any sites that you have had a role as an owner, operator, consultant, developer, designer, or some other capacity. Should your site not be in the above described region, please contact us to discuss the best means of sharing your information.
Please note: Inclusion of a site within this database does not necessarily imply public access or endorsement by HCCREMS of any aspect of the site: including, but not limited to the design, construction, maintenance and performance of the site nor any WSUD devices it contains. Nor does HCCREMS endorse any organisation involved or proprietary materials, devices or methods.
