The Senate Environment and Communications Reference Group sought comment on stormwater resources in Australia.
WSAA welcomes the Senate Inquiry into Stormwater Resources in Australia. WSAA’s vision is ‘Customer driven, enriching life’ and stormwater is an integral part of the fourth outcome of our vision, ‘Stewardship of the urban water cycle’. WSAA is keen to actively participate in a nationally coordinated and considered debate to develop a shared understanding of the role of stormwater in the water cycle, and priorities for the development of liveable and prosperous cities. Stormwater is a complex issue involving several stakeholders with different perspectives. To assist dealing with this complexity, this submission puts forward issues and considerations supported by case studies in order to contribute to a national debate on this important matter.
