Understanding stormwater in our region

As part of the City's Stormwater Services Strategy 2020-30, we are undertaking several studies across the region.

The Clifton Springs/Drysdale flood study will provide a better understanding of stormwater at a catchment level. It will investigate solutions to reduce flood risk/minimise the impacts of stormwater. These may include

  • asset solutions e.g. drainage upgrades, water sensitive urban design (WSUD),
  • non-asset solutions e.g. land use planning, emergency planning, building controls, or catchment management plans.

This is where you come in! We want to know what is important to you. This will help us to assess and prioritise potential options.


Our goals

The City has a vision for a Clever and Creative Future – in particular, the community aspiration for “sustainable development that supports population growth and protects the natural environment.”

The Stormwater Services Strategy 2020-30 supports this vision and identifies a number of goals to which all our stormwater related projects are aligned. The goals which mostly closely support this project are highlighted below.
