Description:
Melbourne Water has updated its approach to assessing development applications in flood-prone areas to balance flood risk mitigation with responsible urban growth. The Flood Impact (Afflux) Practice Note introduces a risk-based approach for evaluating offsite flood level impacts where zero‑afflux cannot be achieved, while upholding the principle of no detrimental impact to nearby properties. Read more here.
This online training session will provide a clear and practical introduction to Melbourne Water’s risk‑based framework for assessing offsite flood impacts, including:
When and how to apply the Practice Note
Key assessment steps and data requirements
Case studies illustrating common development scenarios
Live Q&A with technical specialists
This training is ideal for planners, engineers, developers, consultants and councils working on development applications in flood-prone areas.

Description:
As we navigate the pressures of climate change, rapid population growth, and an urgent demand for housing, the way we manage our water systems—particularly stormwater—has never been more critical. These forces are reshaping our cities and towns, placing new demands on infrastructure and intensifying the need for integrated, resilient water management.
Yet within these challenges lies opportunity.
With thoughtful planning, innovative design, and strategic asset management, we can transform stormwater from a risk into a resource. By reimagining how we interact with the water cycle—from the moment rain falls to its journey to the coast—we can enhance water security, reduce flood risks and protect our waterways.
This conference is your gateway to being part of the solution. It brings together leading minds, practitioners, policymakers, and community leaders to collaborate on the future of water-sensitive urban design and stormwater management in Victoria.
No single organisation or individual can tackle these complex issues alone. Success depends on collaboration across sectors and disciplines—working together from planning and design through to maintenance and renewal.
Join us as we turn today’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities—from cloud to coast.
