Consultation has concluded

The topics covered in the Water Management Plan will be part of the City’s Resources Management Strategy to be developed at a later date.

The City is working with environmental consultant Urbacqua to update our Water Management Plan (WMP). The new WMP 2024-2029 will set actions to deliver a water sensitive vision for the future and help us transition to a Water Sensitive City (WSC) – a resilient, liveable, productive, and sustainable city.

We are seeking your input on the key issues that are of interest to the community. Your feedback, alongside guidelines, budgetary constraints, legislation, existing stakeholder partnerships and City’s employees’ input will all be considered in the preparation of the new WMP.
