Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) is a key requirement for many residential, commercial and infrastructure developments across Australia. Councils commonly require WSUD assessments to demonstrate compliance with stormwater quality and best practice urban water management objectives.
LID Consulting works with architects, planners, project managers and developers to deliver practical stormwater management solutions that support planning approvals, integrate efficiently into project designs and deliver long-term environmental performance to reduce pollutants entering our waterways.
In WSUD assessments we assess proposed development hard-stand area site coverage and opportunities for:
- for direct ground infiltration,
- water collection and diversion from stormwater, and
- on-site and off-site water filtration options.
Blue Factor (replaces STORM) modelling allows us to suggest simple solutions while with MUSIC modelling we are able to investigate in more detail, and compare proprietary supplier treatment systems, retention tanks connected to multiple treatment trains in series not just parallel. We can also optimise sizes of tanks and bio-filtration systems with more accuracy.
Feel free to call us if you have Water Sensitive Urban Design issues to address. Quotes are generally provided within 4-48 hours.

Placing garden beds lower than pavements allows stormwater to run off into the garden.
