This one-day course provides training on the fundamentals of constructed stormwater wetland design. The training will be based on the Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) Technical Design Guidelines for South East Queensland (Version 1 June 2006) and will cover recent advancements since publication of the guidelines. A field trip to a constructed stormwater wetland example will take place in the afternoon. Please bring suitable attire (i.e. closed shoes and a hat) for the fieldtrip.
