Water-sensitive urban design & integrated water management

Summary

We will promote new and cost-effective ways to manage our natural resources more efficiently and reduce environmental damage. Our efforts will develop guidance and decision-making tools to better enable councils to expand the use of water-sensitive urban design and integrated water management techniques that are suited to their local contexts. These will build upon approaches already being applied in many parts of Melbourne, and work in conjunction with water authorities, other infrastructure operators and DELWP, which is currently developing a new water plan for Victoria.
