Auckland Regional Council Guideline GC_01 - the Integration of Landscape and Ecology Values in Stormwater Management

The Auckland Regional Council (ARC) Technical Publication (TP) 10 Stormwater Management Devices is being updated to become Guideline (GD) 01 and will consist of several complementary volumes. One of these volumes (to press) is entitled ‘Landscape and Ecology Values within Stormwater Management’. The volume promotes the potential benefits of landscape design approaches to stormwater management for enhanced landscape and ecology values, as well as treatment function. This paper summarises the Guideline document, with specific regard to the wetland-pond chapter.
