This one day training course will introduce you to the concepts of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) and water sensitive cities, focusing on the WSUD approach to stormwater management.
The session will cover the principles of stormwater management, focusing on how to set targets to allow for water conservation as well as flow and water quality management. It will emphasise basic principles of water quality treatment and flow management to guide selection and design of treatment systems. Design considerations, treatment performance, operation and maintenance will also be discussed.
The course will include an integrated practical exercise running throughout the day, covering aspects from target setting through to the conceptual design of a stormwater treatment train.
In addition to classroom-based learning, participants will visit some of the latest research and demonstration facilities at Burnley campus, including the newly inaugurated Burnley demonstration green roof.

On behalf of the Conference Organising Committee, we would like to invite you to join us for the 2015 Stormwater Victoria Conference. This year we will be travelling to Cape Schanck - The southernmost tip of the Mornington Peninsula. The Conference will be held at the RACV Cape Schanck Resort on Tuesday, 5th and Wednesday, 6th May, with an optional Technical Tour on Thursday, 7th May, 2015.
The Theme for the 2015 Conference is 'Climate Change - Does it Matter Anymore?'. With the recent release of the latest IPCC report you would have to think that climate change certainly does matter, but it does not appear to be gaining the traction in the Stormwater Industry that might be expected. The 2015 Stormwater Victoria Conference will focus on the impacts of climate change and the mitigation measures that will be required to deal with those impacts.
The Conference Organising Committee have put together a fantastic program including our amazing Keynote Speakers:
- Dr Roger Jones, Victoria University
- Dr Karl Braganza, Bureau of Meterology
- Dr Peter Coombes, Urban Water Cycle Solutions
To view the full Conference program, please click here.
The Conference will also feature a co-located trade exhibition provifing an excellence opportunity to learn the latest in product innovation.
The Stormwater Victoria Annual Conference is Victoria's leading forum for practitioners and decision-makers from the industry, research and government to discuss the key issues affecting the stormwater industry.

Stormwater Victoria recognises the Stormwater Quality Improvement Device Evaluation Protocol (SQIDEP), developed by Stormwater Australia, as an important step in the industry towards achieving our collective and shared goals of improving stormwater quality for receiving waterways.
The need for a clear framework and criteria is essential to provide guidance to the industry on how to determine the performance of proprietary treatment products, as well as ongoing monitoring, evaluation and modelling requirements for these systems.
In acknowledgement of the importance of this issue to our members, Stormwater Victoria has developed a Position Paper. The Position Paper can be downloaded by clicking on the link below:
DOWNLOAD the Stormwater Victoria SQIDEP Position Paper
In line with our commitment to provide a voice to our members on key issues, Stormwater Victoria has engaged with industry and our membership to share the progress and seek feedback on the SQIDEP, and in turn understand how our members see this protocol being implemented, and any challenges, issues or limitations to do so effectively. The Position Paper provides details of this engagement undertaken with our membership, and the culmination of the work and consideration of SQIDEP over the past years.
We look forward to continuing to collaborate with Stormwater Australia in improving the SQIDEP framework to ensure a fair, robust and accountable protocol for the industry to benefit from into the future.
