This two hour seminar provides an introduction to WSUD – what it is, why it is important and key do’s and don’ts to successful implementation.

This course is presented by Alan Hoban and Sarah Walker.

This one-day course will increase your knowledge and skills in the conceptualisation and development of design solutions that integrate sustainable urban management with the urban form. It offers a structured approach for ensuring that during the urban development process opportunities for best practice water management are harnessed and risk of non-compliance with emerging legislation and planning requirements are minimised.

This one-day course provides training on the fundamentals of bioretention system design to enable better design and assessment. The course compliments the “Water Sensitive Urban Design Technical Design Guidelines for South East Queensland” (Version 1, June 2006) and covers advancements since publication of the guidelines. A field trip to a bioretention system(s) in the afternoon reinforces what is learnt throughout the day.

This course is presented by Shaun Leinster and Alan Hoban.

This “hands on”, one-day course provides training on advanced aspects of bioretention design. During the day you will actively learn through the development of a worked example and a design review exercise. The course covers recent design advancements and research findings and, including those from the Facility for Advancing Water Biofiltration (FAWB).

The course is presented by Associate Professor Ana Deletic, Shaun Leinster and Alan Hoban.

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).

The Model for Urban Stormwater Improvement Conceptualisation (MUSIC) is in widespread use by developers, consultants and local government across the SEQ region. To date there have been several courses in the use of the model but little guidance on how to assess development applications that contain the results of MUSIC modelling.
