The Fishermans Bend Urban Renewal Area (FBURA) Integrated Water Management (IWM) case studies and checklists provide practical guidance to support water-sensitive planning and development in large-scale urban renewal precincts. Developed to support the transformation of Fishermans Bend, these resources show how integrated water management principles can be applied in real-world planning, design, and delivery.
The case studies highlight key water management opportunities across the precinct, including stormwater harvesting, alternative water supply, green infrastructure, and urban cooling. They demonstrate how collaboration between government, water authorities, and planners can help embed water-sensitive outcomes into major redevelopment projects and create more resilient urban environments.
The accompanying checklists are designed to help planners, engineers, and project teams apply integrated water management principles at different stages of development. They provide a structured way to consider water supply, stormwater, wastewater, liveability, and environmental outcomes, ensuring water is treated as a core part of precinct planning rather than an afterthought.
This resource is particularly useful for urban planners, councils, water authorities, developers, and infrastructure planners working on precinct-scale developments, urban renewal projects, or integrated water management strategies.
By turning lessons from Fishermans Bend into practical tools, this resource helps organisations plan more resilient, liveable, and water-sensitive cities.
