New Research Report - Urban Stormwater Quality Program
October 18, 2001
A new report from the CRC Urban Stormwater Quality Program is now available from the Centre Office: Water Sensitive Urban Design in the Australian Context: Synthesis of a Conference Held 30-31 August 2000, Melbourne, Australia by Sara Lloyd (CRC Report 01/7)
In August 2000 a conference was held in Melbourne to highlight and explore the opportunities and impediments to the adoption of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD). WSUD is the term used to describe a new approach to urban planning and design that offers sustainable solutions for the integration of land development and the natural water cycle.
This report collates and summarises the key issues raised at the conference, focusing on the current barriers to the widespread adoption of WSUD principles and offers possible solutions to help overcome both short term and long term issues.
Please note that conference attendees will be sent a complimentary copy.
Copies of the report are available from the Centre Office for $27.50 (includes postage and GST within Australia). Reports, videos and software, available from the CRC are listed in our Publications List. Copies of the Publications List are available on
request from the Centre Office or can be downloaded from this CRC website at:
