Draft National Urban Stormwater Modelling Guide Webinar - Workshop

The sector engagement and research completed of Phase 1 of this work has shown there is a clear mandate from the wider industry for national stormwater modelling guidance. The guide itself is approximately 50% completed, with industry feedback requested on the full draft in November / December 2023 and publication expected in early 2024.

In this workshop the project team will:

1. Present the draft structure and content (as a work in progress)
2. Request feedback on content and future priorities

The online workshop will mirror the in-conference workshop held a week prior.

The overall objective of developing a national urban stormwater modelling guideline is to provide a consistent and robust urban flood hazard modelling process to aid understanding of risk and our management of it. A consistent approach will enable better decision making by communities, planners and engineers. The guideline will give greater certainty for councils, future Water Service Entities, developers and the public that modelled urban flood risk data can be used to enable common understanding and clear communication of urban flood risks and associated impacts.
