The findings from a series of national Needs Analysis workshops which are the first part of a 5 phase project focussing on Life Cycle Costing Information and tools to help drive Water Sensitive Urban Design have been released in a recent report.

Titled 'National Needs Analysis: Life Cycle Costing Data and Tools for Water Sensitive Urban Design Assets', the report outlines outcomes from Needs Analysis workshops completed in November 2010 and held in partnership with the following programs:

 

  • WSUD Program – Sydney Metropolitan Catchment Management Authority;

 

 

  • Clearwater Program – Victoria;

 

 

  • South Australia – Murray Darling Basin NRM Board;

 

 

  • Western Australia – New WAter Ways;

 

 

  • Queensland – Water by Design Program.

 

 

The Sydney Metropolitan CMA as a core funder of the project will use findings and recommendations from the report to investigate the next steps in this project.
