The Melbourne Water Constructed Waterway Manual (CWM), completed in December 2019, brings together engineering, geomorphology, ecology, flood management and liveability elements in a comprehensive resource for waterway and sub-division engineers, landscape architects, urban designers and ecologists.
The manual was created in response to a strong need for consistent delivery of best practice design for constructed waterways. Application of manual principles ensures quality ecological and urban design outcomes and delivery of assets that are sustainable to maintain.
This ¾ day online training is for practitioners from Victorian local government and Catchment Management Authorities - (CMAs) who are responsible for reviewing waterway design submissions and need to understand the required design principles. The session will include interactive break out discussion groups, case studies and design drawings to illustrate how to review waterway design submissions.
Our trainers are experts in their field and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience. Both trainers are key developers of the Melbourne Water Constructed Waterways Design Manual completed in 2019
