Stormwater
Facilities Database.
It is important that councils have all the necessary
information about a particular asset in regard to its design, construction
and maintenance. These three issues may well have been managed by
different arms of council and it is not always easy to ensure that
all the required information is available in a convenient location.
With staffing changes over time critical information could easily
be lost. The best way to ensure this information is readily available
is to collect it in a single place such as a database. The councils,
or any other asset managers, also have a duty of care to inspect
and maintain assets. If any problems arise in the future, it is
important to have a record of all inspections and maintenance actions.
In order to help councils and the Trust collect and collate data
on flood mitigation and water quality structures in the catchment,
the Trust has developed the web-based Stormwater
Facilities Database. This database contains all the necessary
information about both water quality and water quantity assets in
the catchment and across the four council areas (Baulkham Hills,
Blacktown, Holroyd and Parramatta). While primarily a management
tool, much of the data is publicly available through the above link.
If you require further information about the database, you can
contact the Trust's Operations Engineer, Mr
John Carse.
