Topics to be covered include:
- An introduction to the types of treatments, their classifications and purposes
- An introduction to the types of GPTs and their functionality (if you understand how they work, then you’ll understand how this impacts cleaning)
- The reality of monitoring, regular cleaning, and annual/comprehensive cleaning
- Quick coverage of 90% of proprietary devices
- A more detailed focus on the 4 devices that have 90% of the market
- Cleaning specifications for these – to include in tenders, and be used on the ground
- Secondary treatment/Green treatments – in summary only
- Dewatering – a problem for every site
- Field validation of performance, cleaning results
- GPT auditing and WSUD auditing
- Costing – how much should cleaning cost
- Budgeting and bean counters – how to get the money to do it right
- Results, reports and record keeping – why
- Tips for improving device performance – get better bang for your buck
A copy of the Guidelines must be purchased for all attendees. Organisations registering multiple delegates are only required to purchase a single copy of the manual.
Spaces are limited. Should you have any questions please contact GEMS Event Management Australia on +61 2 9744 5252 or email registration@gemsevents.com.au

Topic: Climate change and its effect on flooding
Presenters:
Mark Babister
Monique Retallick
Date: Monday, 19th July 2021
Time: 12.30pm – 1:30pm
Description: ARR 1987 acknowledged the emerging issue of climate change. ARR 2019 provided National guidance on climate change related rainfall increases based on advice from an expert group including CSIRO, BOM and various academic experts.
- Design rainfall intensity-frequency-duration.
- Storm type, frequency and depth.
- Rainfall spatial and temporal patterns.
- Antecedent conditions.
- Changes in sea level.
- The joint probability of storm surge and flood producing rainfall.
This hour long seminar will cover what is the current advice on climate change relating to flooding and how to implement it in practice. It will also cover how the current interim advice may be superseded. The seminar will discuss how climate change will affect urban catchments versus rural catchments.
This webinar will include an audience Q&A session. Attendance is free and you do not have to be a member of Stormwater NSW to participate. Please feel free to bring a friend or colleague with you.
Blacktown City Council and Healthy Land and Water have recently undertaken projects to update their specifications for bioretention filter media, transition and drainage layer materials. These projects arose from (i) gaps in the science related to media configuration to achieve desired outcomes and (ii) difficulties sourcing materials complying with specifications.
While the projects produced updated specifications, the above issues remain and it has been recognised that, in order to successfully implement bioretention systems in the future, they need to be addressed.
This joint 1-hour Stormwater Queensland-Stormwater NSW event will include succinct presentations from Blacktown City Council’s Mark Liebman and Ben Penhallurick, Healthy Land and Water’s Glenn Browning and Contech Engineered Solutions’ Craig Fairbaugh, and interactive discussions and Q&A with attendees.
Registration is $10.
A certificate of attendance can be provided upon request.

One of Australia’s most significant infrastructure projects in decades, the Western Sydney Airport (WSA) will be an international and domestic airport with two runways, a terminal and airport facilities at the ultimate development stage. The WSA site has a total catchment area of 1400ha and is situated in the upstream reaches of Badgerys Creek. The proposed WSA trunk drainage network consists of approximately 48km of underground pipe network, 56km of open channels, 8 detention and 10 bioretention basins. Adding to the design complexity, the detailed design of the drainage network considered four milestone development stages concurrently.
This presentation outlines the stormwater management strategy of the WSA site and the design challenges to meet the specific airport operational requirements. Due to the significant change of the catchment characteristics throughout the 4 development stages, stormwater quality and quantity control requirements were a key target for the design. Other critical criteria for the design included maximum ponding duration and no supercritical flow conditions within the open channels. These were addressed through detailed DRAINS software modelling of storm events from the 4EY to the 1% AEP. The modelling challenges and learnings experienced in applying the ensemble of ARR 2019 temporal patterns are discussed. This includes the approaches used to resolve model instabilities associated with DRAINS modelling of the complex network of open channels, storages, headwalls, underground pipe network, diversion weirs and detention basins with associated inlet/outlet structures. The other modelling challenges were the building of large MUSIC models and incorporating the complex drainage network in the model.
