‘Local Governments Role in Managing Erosion and Sediment Control’ Seminar @ Riverlife
Apr 14 @ 1:30 pm – 5:00 pm

sq_March_lb_edits

On behalf of Stormwater Queensland and the International Erosion Control Association Australasia, we are pleased to announce that registration is now available for the ‘Local Governments Role in Managing Erosion and Sediment Control’ Seminar to be held on Thursday, 14th April, 2016 from 1.30 pm to 5.00 pm at Riverlife Brisbane.

Seminar Focus

The implementation and management of erosion and sediment controls on Queensland urban development construction sites has been historically poor with studies undertaken by Healthy Waterways indicating up to 95% of sites are not compliant. Local governments can play a vital role in the management of erosion and sediment control from the development application process through to regulation on the ground. Although there is improvement by some local governments, in general the approach is very ‘hands off’ resulting in poor site management and water quality outcomes.

In contrast many Council’s in New Zealand including Auckland Regional Council adopt a very different ‘hands on’ approach with no cost to Council. This forum will include a panel session, discussion and a presentation from Michael Parsonson from Southern Skies Environmental who has been involved with erosion and sediment control policy in Auckland. The discussions will provide insight into alternative strategies that could be adopted by local governments to provide a greater level of protection to waterways.

Registrations for this Seminar is now closed.

New National Protocol for the Evaluation of Stormwater Quality Improvement Devices – Update Session @ The Greek Club
Jun 21 @ 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm

Stormwater Queensland in conjunction with Stormwater Australia are hosting an update session on the New National Protocol for the Evaluation of Stormwater Quality Improvement Devices will be held at The Greek Club from 1.30 pm to 3.00 pm on Tuesday, 21st June.

Background

There are statewide provisions for stormwater quality management in the State Planning Policy, and many local governments also have stormwater quality provisions within their planning scheme.

Over the past several years there has been concern over the lack of a clear framework to verify the performance claims for proprietary stormwater products, also known as stormwater quality improvement devices (SQID).  This has become a point of tension in the development assessment process.

Over the past two years Stormwater Australia has been developing a Stormwater Quality Improvement Devices Evaluation Protocol (SQIDEP).  The protocol developed this far has a particular focus on providing guidance on field testing requirements, collection, analysis and presentation of data, and ensuring the process is both technically competent and sufficiently independent to support confidence in the outcomes.

The draft SQIDEP can be downloaded by clicking the link below or alternatively please cut and past the following link into your web browser:

Stormwater Queensland in conjunction with Stormwater Australia will be hosting a public event  providing an update on the SQID Protocol,   This event will comprise of a general information session and open to a broad cross section of stakeholders and interest groups including manufacturers and vendors of products. Local government officers, consultants and other relevant stakeholders are also invited to attend in order to understand the basics of the protocol.  This event will be held from 1.30 pm until 3.00 pm on the afternoon of Tuesday, 21st June, 2016.

Cost:  

Free Registration is provided to members of Stormwater Queensland Members.  Registration for non members is $65 per person.

Stormwater 2016 National Conference @ Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort and Spa
Aug 29 – Sep 2 all-day
Stormwater 2016 National Conference @ Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort and Spa | Surfers Paradise | Queensland | Australia

Stormwater Australia invites you to attend STORMWATER 2016, the 4th National Conference convened by Stormwater Australia, to be held from Monday, 29th August to Friday, 2nd September, 2016 in Surfers Paradise, Queensland.

In 2009, the United Nations reported that more than half the world’s population lived in urban centres. This proportion is set to increase to 66% by 2050, when it is estimated that city dwellers will live and share their neighbourhoods with an additional 2.5 billion people.

As our cities grow and evolve, it is imperative that we manage our resource and our natural resources to ensure they continue to provide clean, healthy environments for ourselves and the next generation. Access to adequate supplies of safe and fit-for-purpose water will be increasingly important to meet the needs of a growing population, while the responsible management of runoff from both increasing sprawl and density in existing urban areas will be needed to increase our resilience to natural disasters such as flood and heat waves, and to avoid further environmental and social degradation.

The modern stormwater industry seeks to balance traditional issues with emerging priorities which are being placed on our infrastructure. Practitioners are experienced in working at the coal face, often pragmatically dealing with issues in a complex environment where policy requirements are often unclear, but the demand for good outcomes and multiple benefits are not. The growing need to work in multidisciplinary teams, to lead and influence, to understand and assimilate different points of view and technical requirements, will be core skills required in the future.

Challenge and change brings opportunity. Fiscal constraints are an ever present reality. New and emerging technologies are developed to provide technical solutions. Increasingly we are seeing new business models that empower greater choice. Increasingly we are looking to solve nexus issues around water, energy and food. In an increasingly connected world, information has a new currency to support decision making and engagement with community. As economies around the world transition to make better use of all this knowledge, there is potential to develop new markets and trade opportunities.

The ‘Rising to the Challenge’ Conference will reach out beyond our core industry practitioners to engage with a broader group of committed and talented people who will all need to work together to develop the solutions of the future. Stormwater Australia invites you and your colleagues from all disciplines and experiences to participate in what we anticipate to be an exciting and engaging Conference that builds upon earlier successes, inspires participants and provide opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing.

2016 Healthy Waterways Report Card Launch @ Northern, Eastern, Southern, Western
Nov 14 @ 11:30 am – 12:30 pm
2016 Healthy Waterways Report Card Launch @ Northern, Eastern, Southern, Western

The Report Card provides an annual assessment of the pressures facing our waterways, their current environmental condition (A-F grade), and the level of social and economic benefit the waterways provide to local communities (1-5 star rating).

As their organisation transitions into the new entity Healthy Waterways and Catchments, they have leveraged the combined skills and resources of Healthy Waterways and SEQ Catchments to further build upon their holistic monitoring and reporting approach. This includes working with the Council of Mayors to assess the risks to environmental values in each sub catchment. A component of this assessment will be released through the 2016 Report Card, identifying the sub catchments in most need of action to reduce sediment pollution.

To release the results, four launch events will be held simultaneously across South East Queensland.

Central Launch 

Host: Healthy Waterways and Catchments
Venue: Riverlife Centre – Naval Stores, Lower River Terrace, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane

Draft State Planning Policy Forum @ Novotel Brisbane Hotel (Lawson Room)
Jan 31 @ 9:00 am – 2:00 pm

Sponsored by;

stormwater360-logo

Time: 8.30am for a 9.00am start and finishing with lunch from 12.30pm

The commencement of the new Planning Act in mid-2017 has been a driver for the Department of Infrastructure, Local Government & Planning (DILGP) to review how State interests are expressed in the planning system. In November 2016, DILGP released consultation drafts of theState Planning Policy (SPP), the State Development Assessment Provisions and the Planning Regulation. These drafts can be downloaded from this website. The draft SPP includes some important changes to the State interest – water quality. 

The changes associated with the policy are likely to have some noteworthy implications for urban development, communities and the environment.

Stormwater Queensland is hosting a forum to assist in understanding how the Draft SPP proposes to change regulatory requirements for stormwater quality management.

The event is recommended for those involved in urban stormwater planning, policy or development. Submissions on the draft SPP close 10 February 2017 so the Forum is also recommended for any person or organisation considering making a submission on the water quality aspects of the policy.

An expert panel from a broad cross section of the industry has been convened for this event to provide different perspectives on the policy. The panel will include a range of speakers including:

Stormwater QLD – Public and Private Assets: What’s the Situation? @ Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (Rooms P3-4 Plaza Level), Cnr Merivale & Glenelg St, South Brisbane
Mar 30 @ 8:30 am – 12:30 pm

Sponsored by;

Renew - Logo_inline_dark

Time: 8.30am for a 9.00am start (concluding with lunch from 12.30pm)

As part of any development approval, local governments request developers to meet stringent stormwater quality requirements before allowing stormwater to discharge to local receiving waterways or adjoining public stormwater infrastructure. For over a decade now, these requirements have been met by use of various types of proprietary and non-proprietary stormwater treatment devices or systems, including Gross Pollutant Traps, Oil and Silt Arresters, Sediment Fore-Bays, Trash Racks, Litter Baskets, Sediment Ponds, Swales and Bio-Retention Systems, etc. All of these systems need maintenance in order to consistently meet the quality requirements of their design. When reflecting on our efforts in stormwater quality improvement over the last decade, a number of important questions arise, including:

  • Are these systems, both public and privately owned, being maintained according to manufacturer specifications and/or design guidelines?
  • Who is responsible for maintaining these systems? How is local government responsible for publicly owned assets? What obligations do private asset owners have to maintain these assets?
  • What regulatory or incentive frameworks are currently in place to ensure these assets are maintained? What regulatory or incentive frameworks could be considered in the future?
  • How does local government keep a track of these assets? Do they know where they are located? How much data or information do they have?
  • How do they use this data or information? How do they store it? Who is responsible for it?
  • To what extent are systems owned by private entities, other than local governments, being maintained?

Stormwater Queensland is hosting a forum to assist in understanding the management situation for public and privately owned systems and to find answers to the above. The event is recommended for those involved in urban stormwater planning, policy or development, asset management and maintenance. An expert panel from a broad cross section of the industry is being convened for this event to provide different perspectives on this topic.

An expert panel from a broad cross section of the industry has been convened for this event to provide different perspectives on this topic including;

  • Claire McAsh – Senior Environmental Engineer, City of Gold Coast
  • Russell Cadman – WSUD Compliance Officer, Blacktown City Council, NSW

Natural Floodplain Management – Can Planting More Trees Reduce SEQs Flood Risk? @ GHD
May 4 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm

There are some fantastic examples from the UK and other parts of the world that use a naturalistic approach to floodplain management. The question is, however, can these types of techniques be practically applied in SEQ? Given that the local climate and other components are vastly different to these areas, will these approaches be feasible and if so to what degree and how would they be best used?

Recent discussions within some organisations have pinned hopes on naturalistic floodplain management as “the answer” to several common issues, which makes it well worth considering. However, there are unresolved issues regarding the importance of revegetation weighed against the potential for increased flood levels upstream (and potential decreased flood levels downstream) also the quantification measurement and modelling of such approaches, climate, storage, practicality as well as the cost of implementation.

Key items that will be discussed include:

  • Applying Natural Floodplain Management Techniques in Queensland. What is the likelihood for success?
  • Lessons learned from the UK on Natural Floodplain Management. Application of natural techniques should as floodplain reengagement, revegetation, infiltration and temporary storage through leaky weirs etc.
  • Discussion surrounding the future Bremer River Catchment Study and the opportunities for integrated water approaches
  • Application of revegetation etc in Bremer/Lockyer systems and possible implications for the regional area.
  • The power of using flood mitigation as a mechanism to get other benefits (water quality, bank stabilisation, more trees in the ground)
  • Hurdles such as property resumptions, increasing flooding upstream whilst benefiting downstream property, lack of legislation power to enable greater community good and working with landowners on useable land.
  • Previous case studies and a quick look at what Ipswich is looking at for a natural floodplain management pilot project

Stormwater Queensland is hosting a lunchtime presentation to facilitate a transfer of ideas and assist in understanding a natural floodplain management approach.

Phil Smith (Waterways Health Officer) and Adam Berry (Floodplain Management Engineer) from Ipswich City Council will be co-presenting and will provide time at the end for discussion/questions and answers.
