The Trust, Western
Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC) and Sydney
Coastal Councils Groups (SCCG), are taking the lead in delivering
the Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) 'capacity building' program
in Sydney. A Steering Committee - comprising officers from various
Sydney councils, WSROC, SCCG, Sydney Water and the Trust - was formed
in late 2000 to guide the planning and delivery of the Sydney WSUD
'capacity building' program. On behalf of the WSUD Steering Committee,
Baulkham Hills Shire Council was awarded a $325,000 Stormwater Trust
grant to fund the program.
One WSUD 'Capacity Building' project officer manages
the capacity building project. The Sustainabile Water Challenge,
a yearly competition demonstrating innovation in WSUD, provides
incentives for councils to implement WSUD in their local area. Further
information can be obtained from the WSUD capacity building website,
www.wsud.org.
The companion WSUD project is 'Demonstrating
Opportunities for a Water Sensitive Western Sydney'
