WSUD and rapid economic development in the City of Mandurah
Run by: New WAter Ways
Time: approx. 8:00am - 4:00pm Tuesday 5th May, 2009
Location: City of Mandurah
Price: $125.00 per person
Description:
The City of Mandurah is one of the fastest growing areas of the entire country and a major development centre just outside of Perth. This area is environmentally significant for its estuary, RAMSAR listed wetlands and a number of areas that have a high water table. The local Government Authority in this area recognised the economic and market value (tourism and residential) of improving water quality and have made a strong policy to enable WSUD developments. This area has not allowed a sump to be built in nine years and has a cost effective sump retrofit program. In addition to the natural beauty of the ocean, estuary, canals and many bridges, attendees will see developments with unique public open spaces (Tree Park, Lake Park, Quandong Park and Snake Drain) incorporating art, amenity and Best Practice in Stormwater Management. Attendees will view various alternative kerb treatments, porous pavement, developments with no pipes, bubble ups- stormwater features and, although it can not be viewed except from photos of it installation, applications of Atlantis Cells and other subsurface features. As a part of the WA Premiers Water Fund, Mandurah has developed a village using greywater for sub-surface drip irrigation, water tanks, water conservation measures and an intensive mosquito monitoring program. Mandurah also boast a sustainable home (newly opened) and wetland restoration projects. Attendees will return with time to prepare for the evening reception function.

Managing Water Resources on the Coast
Run by: New WAter Ways
Time: approx. 11:00am - 5:00pm Tuesday 5th May, 2009
Location: Western Inner Suburbs and Fremantle
Price: $75.00 per person
Description:
Travel through the popular and trendy Western Inner Suburbs to one of Perth's most popular beaches and witness breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. On this trip, you will see a WSUD retrofit of a high property value area. This area is located on a peninsula between the river and the ocean and contains a groundwater aquifer with a thin freshwater lens that is at risk of saltwater intrusion. A number of sumps have been retrofitted with Gross Pollutant Traps and vegetated landscaping to treat water before allowing it to infiltrate. Significant infrastructure changes have been made to close ocean outfalls and redirect the clean stormwater into the aquifer, including a regular water quality monitoring program. Along with these upgrades to infrastructure, is a comprehensive public awareness and education campaign, a part of the Federal Government's Water Smart Australia Program, to encourage the local community to use water wisely and effectively utilise bore water.
From Cottesloe, this tour will move on to the port City of Fremantle through the re-developed Leighton Beach. The beach area formerly held an industrial style beach which was underutilised and a train marshalling yard. This is the Leighton Oceanside Parklands project and there was extensive community consultation. In line with a new residential development, the road was re-aligned and incorporates vegetated swales and artistic entry statements. Attendees will spend some time in the Fremantle main tourist district before heading back to the city for the evening reception function.

Water Efficiency and Winery Tour
Run by: Perth Region NRM and New WAter Ways jointly
Time: approx. 10:00am - 3:00pm, Tuesday 5th May, 2009
Location: Swan Valley - Tour
Price: $125.00 per person
Description:
The Sittella Winery in the Swan Valley is becoming a test-case for sustainable practice in Australian wine manufacturing. The demonstration site involves monitoring devices being installed at the winery to keep an eye on its energy and water use for each stage of the production process. It also features the use of soil moisture probes to monitor and determine appropriate irrigation levels. A software package monitors the levels of resources used and allows the winemakers to identify how to optimise their production efficiency. The demonstration project is run by Perth Region NRM (Formerly the Swan Catchment Council) in partnership with the Wine Industry Association of WA.
In the upper reaches of the Swan River lies the Sittella Winery & Restaurant, a true jewel of the historic Swan Valley. In this tranquil setting with valley and vineyard views from the restaurant veranda, visitors are invited to enjoy fine food and award winning wines. A three course lunch and wine tasting is included; a gradual networking build-up to the evenings reception.
