Stormwater NSW Guidelines for Maintenance of Stormwater Treatment Measures
About the Guidelines
Stormwater quality improvement measures are an essential component of our stormwater infrastructure to protect environmental, recreational and economic values of our waterways.
The Guidelines will assist Asset Managers to plan, tender and implement routine maintenance for stormwater treatment measures.
It will also provide guidance to Cleaning Contractors on how to maintain each type of stormwater treatment measure. Concise explanations of maintenance tasks for each stormwater measure are provided.
The manual can be purchased as a standalone document or can be purchased in conjunction with the full-day training workshops which will be fully rolled out once the government restrictions in place due to Covid-19 are lifted.
The first training session will be held in the Bayside Council area in November 2020. This event will have the capacity for a maximum of 25 attendees both face to face and virtually. The workshop will provide attendees with real world examples and experiences relating to the maintenance of council assets. Registration for the first workshop will be available through this portal until sold out, at which time a second workshop will be announced.
