Water Sensitive Urban Design & Water Quality Modelling
Councils set pollutant reduction targets. We design the cost-effective treatment trains that meets them — and prove it with in-house modelling.
What you receive
Water Cycle Management Plan, or WSUD integrated into your Stormwater Management Plan
MUSIC model and water quality report demonstrating target compliance
WSUD element sizing, details and planting schedules
Maintenance schedule where council requires one
Rainwater reuse water balance
How we do it
Water quality modelling in MUSIC by eWater, using council's adopted parameters
Pollutant load reduction assessment — total suspended solids, total phosphorus, total nitrogen and gross
pollutants
Design and detailing of raingardens and bioretention basins, swales, infiltration basins, vegetated buffers and
proprietary treatment devices
Rainwater harvesting and reuse water balance, aligned with BASIX commitments
Treatment train optimised for footprint and cost, then integrated into the drainage design
When you need it
Where your council DCP sets water quality targets, where a consent condition requires a Water Cycle Management Plan, or where site size or land use triggers WSUD controls. Most common on multi-unit, subdivision, commercial, industrial and rural development.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
They vary by council — commonly around 85% TSS, 65% TP and 45% TN reduction. We confirm your council's figures before designing.
-
No. Underground proprietary devices are well-suited to tight landscape spaces, though they usually cost more to maintain.
-
Yes. Reuse reduces both runoff volume and pollutant load, and MUSIC credits it.
