Couse overview

The Victorian Government expanded state wide stormwater planning controls in October 2018 to help protect our waterways, prevent flooding and divert more rainfall / stormwater to our parks and reserves

A broader range of development types are now required to meet Victorian stormwater planning requirements.

This course is designed to help planners and engineers understand the links between water and cities, learn about the role and scope of these statewide controls, and gain confidence in assessing planning applications in a way that best achieves our new stormwater objectives.

Audience

The course welcomes public and private sector practitioners who want to deepen their stormwater knowledge.

Local Government statutory / strategic planners and engineers, who play a role in implementing Victoria’s stormwater planning requirements; and
Senior and junior staff who both play an important role in implementing stormwater controls.

Learning outcomes

Understand Victorian context for state wide stormwater planning controls
Increase your understanding of Integrated Water Management (IWM) & stormwater assets, their spatial requirements and how they look and function
Build your ability to interpret planning application documentation, including engineering reports, to enable you to assess if planning requirements are met. This relates to the full suite of stormwater controls including cl.19.03-3S, cl. 53.18 and others
Understand critical concepts such as ‘raingardens’, ‘bioretention systems’ and ‘treat to best practice’
