WSUD TECHNICAL GUIDE FOR WESTERN SYDNEY

These WSUD Technical Guidelines have been developed for use by councils in Western Sydney, although much of the material in the guidelines is likely to be useful in other areas of Sydney and beyond.

They were released in May 2004 and explain how best to incorporate and design WSUD measures into urban developments. They provide guidance to councils, master planners, developers and builders through provision of best management practice design specifications for a number of WSUD measures.

Because of the the large size of the document I have split it into two parts.
Part 1 contains the Guide and Part 2 the Appendices, which include worked design examples.
All files are in PDF format, to Download Acrobat Reader:

Procedures for the estimation of a range of urban stormwater contaminants;
Design guidelines for commonly applied stormwater quantity and quality management practices; Procedures for the estimation of the performance of these practices; and
Advice with respect to the development/consideration of integrated urban water cycle management practices.
