Fourth Generation Water: A Vision for Water in South East Queensland
MUSIC Assessment
This one-day course provides training on the fundamentals of constructed stormwater wetland design to enable better design and assessment of stormwater wetlands. The course compliments the “Water Sensitive Urban Design Technical Design Guidelines for South East Queensland” (Version 1 June 2006) and covers recent advancements since publication of the guidelines. A field trip in the afternoon reinforces what is learnt throughout the day.
The course is presented by Malcolm Eadie and Sally Boer.

Advanced Stormwater Wetland Design
This “hands on”, one-day course will build upon your existing knowledge and understanding of constructed stormwater wetland processes and design to aid you in developing solutions for a range of challenging site conditions, design objectives and poorly functioning wetland systems.
During the day you will actively learn through designing key components of a stormwater wetland as part of a multi-disciplinary design team guided by leading industry experts.
The course is presented by Dr Peter Breen and Sally Boer.
Stormwater Harvesting
This one-day course provides an understanding of the processes involved in planning and designing a stormwater harvesting scheme, and an awareness of the factors that must be considered when designing the components of a stormwater harvesting scheme (i.e. catchment, diversion and raw water storage, treatment, treated water storage and distribution). A worked example will be used to illustrate and apply the planning and design process in the “Stormwater Harvesting Guidelines for South East Queensland” (Water by Design, in press).
