Tender Open - Online stormwater assessment tool for small scale developments

Water Sensitive SA is a capacity building program that provides stakeholders across all disciplines within the development and urban water management industries in South Australia, with the support they need to achieve the best water sensitive urban design (WSUD) outcomes.

Developers, planners, urban designers, engineers, landscape architects, scientists, builders and maintenance workers all have roles in the development of our cities and suburbs, and many of them recognise the value of WSUD and incorporate it in new infrastructure projects and developments. Water Sensitive SA provides these professions with access to the latest WSUD information; training on know how to apply it properly; and an opportunity to gain valuable insight from the experiences of other practitioners; guidelines, tools and training to inspire and facilitate the delivery of best practice WSUD.

On behalf of our program partners, Water Sensitive SA is seeking to develop a user friendly on-line stormwater assessment tool for small-scale or simple developments that assesses the performance of the proposed water sensitive urban design (WSUD) elements of a development against the nominated design criteria, an associated guideline and user manual, to:

• increase the efficiency of development application and approval processes, and
• achieve better outcomes for flood risk, stormwater quality, amenity and microclimate (where possible).

The project will be delivered in four stages:

Stage 1 - Comparison of current council engineering requirements

Stage 2 - Development of stormwater assessment tool and guideline for Greater Adelaide

Stage 3 – Development of online interface for stormwater assessment tool & user manual

Stage 4 – Maintenance and update of the tool and website
