This full-day workshop covers all aspects of Operations and Maintenance for all types of stormwater treatment measures. These Guidelines, produced by Stormwater NSW, have become the industry standard and reference document for the maintenance of stormwater assets across the country. The Workshop is aimed at Maintenance Managers and Cleaning Contractors, as well as Council staff involved in the sizing, siting and approval of stormwater treatment measures.   

Workshop Overview 

The workshop is aimed at Maintenance Managers and Cleaning Contractors, as well as Council staff involved in the sizing, siting and approval of stormwater treatment measures.   

The workshop focuses on the O+M Guidelines, produced by Stormwater NSW, that will become the industry standard and reference document for the Maintenance of Stormwater assets. 

The Training Covers: 

• The origin and evolution of these new Guidelines 

• Some of the standard terms that everyone need to know 

• Explanation of the format and contents of the Guideline 

• How Councils and How Cleaning Contractors will use these Guidelines 

• Planning and budgeting for Maintenance – what Councils need to know 

• Monitoring of devices – tools, Data Sheets, Cleaning Specs, practical field demonstration & explanation 

• Regular Cleaning and Comprehensive Cleaning – measure by measure 

• Dewatering & Decanting, new devices, Reporting format and content 

• Rectifications, auditing, upgrades & decommissioning 

• Tricks of the trade (so everyone gets a better outcome) 

• One Page Cleaning Specs for all proprietary treatment measures 

• Questions and Answers for everything stormwater 

This popular training exposes the myths and problems of the past, and presents a logical and practical way to get the best from Stormwater Treatment Devices.  Whilst not aimed at consultants and DA engineers, it certainly contains a lot of very helpful content in the selection, sizing and siting of devices for long term reliable solutions.

Description:

This course is designed for practitioners who are involved in the planning, design and/or approval of drainage and Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) projects and covers the basic principles of WSUD.  

Experienced engineers use them as a refresher, graduate engineers attend to understand the drainage basics, and often people from other backgrounds (landscape architects, environmental scientists, managers and planners) attend to further their understanding of drainage, WSUD design and the RORB software.

The Conference Organising Committee invite you to join us at the 2024 Stormwater Victoria Conference, with the theme of 'Advocacy, Adaptation and Action'.  The conference will be held at the Silverwater Resort, San Remo on Tuesday, 4 and Wednesday, 5 June 2024, with an optional Workshop Day planned for Monday, 3 June and optional Technical Tour planned for Thursday, 6 June 2024.

Stormwater Victoria recognises the need to continue growing and developing leadership within the stormwater and water industry to drive positive changes towards sustainable water management now and for the future. We have big challenges ahead of us and are optimistic that together we can achieve sustainable forms of water management.

DEECA’s Regulatory Priorities 21-22, states that Victoria’s natural environment is a “dynamic system, constantly undergoing and responding to change in the short and longer-term”.

Population growth, the corresponding increase in human activities, and climate change continue to be the driving factors for environmental pressures. This is particularly relevant with the Bureau of Meteorology having just declared that both an El Nino event and a positive Indian Ocean Dipole are active, increasing the severity of rainfall deficiencies, fire danger and extreme temperatures. This follows hot on the heels of some of the worst flooding in the state’s history.

By working collaboratively, advocating for resilience, and adapting to change we can ensure that communities can better prepare for and respond to the complex challenges posed by climate change and urban development. This will allow us to safeguard both the environment and public health.

In this spirit, we are excited to introduce our 2024 Conference streams with you and look forward to exploring them together:

Imagine - Advocating for a Sustainable Future

The Times They Are A-Changin’ – Adapting to Uncertain Times 

Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now - Taking Action

Full Circle – Designing to Maintaining and Operating

We look forward to having you join us in San Remo in June 2024.
