Various guidelines are available to assist in the planning, design and construction of WSUD elements. You must be logged in to download guidelines.
MUSIC Modelling Guidelines – Version 1
The purpose of the MUSIC Modelling Guidelines for SEQ – Version 1 is to ensure a consistent and uniform approach to stormwater quality modelling and assessment. This guideline focuses on providing preferred MUSIC parameters for SEQ to demonstrate compliance with stormwater quality management objectives.
Stormwater Harvesting Guidelines
The purpose of these Stormwater Harvesting Guidelines is to assist engineers and other professionals to plan, design and implement stormwater harvesting schemes. The guidelines focus on developing localised stormwater harvesting in urban areas — harvesting stormwater from local catchments and reusing it within the local community.
Deemed to Comply Solutions – Stormwater Quality (NEW!)
Deemed to Comply Solutions – Stormwater Quality outlines a series of “off the shelf” stormwater solutions for meeting stormwater quality design objectives for simple and small scale development. .
Concept Design Guidelines for Water Sensitive Urban Design
This guideline is intended to assist urban design professionals to conceptualise and develop design solutions that integrate best-practice urban water management into urban developments.
WSUD Technical Design Guidelines for South East Queensland
The Water Sensitive Urban Design Technical Design Guidelines for South East Queensland describe appropriate methods for the detailed design of some common structural stormwater management measures in SEQ.
Construction and Establishment Guidelines: Swales, Bioretention Systems and Wetlands
These guidelines provide resources for the construction and establishment of swales, bioretention systems and stormwater wetlands. It provides civil and landscape specifications, step by step construction and establishment procedures, and sign-offs checklists and forms for certification and compliance.
Erosion and Sediment Control guidelines are listed on the erosion and sediment control page.
Poorly managed construction sites can result in highly damaging sediment loads being delivered into receiving waters. Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) is an integral part of achieving WSUD outcomes during the construction phase of urban development and redevelopment projects.
