1 WSUD in your home & backyard Port Adelaide & Enfield Community Environment Group 19 October 2017 Mellissa Bradley, Program Manager Water sensitive urban design. is an approach to urban planning and design that integrates the management of the total water cycle into the land use and development process 1
2 Principles Re-integrate water back into urban landscape create microclimate Re-use of water at source (or close as possible) Protect receiving water quality (streams and marine) Fit for purpose water use Content Urbanisation and changes to catchment hydrology Rainwater harvesting and re-use Infiltration systems Raingardens Vegetated swales Permeable paving What to consider if planning a new build 2

NOT recommended on sites classified as H-D, E-D and P, includes fill, soil subject to erosion, soft soils (lack suitable load bearing) 16

27 How to construct a raingarden Tips 1. Soil mix needs some clay (up to 3%) and organic matter (up to 5%) to retain moisture between rainfall events 2. If your raingarden is greater than 4m wide install two slotted drainage pipes (evenly spaced) and two overflow pipes 27
28 Plant selection Stormwater pollutant removing plants: Tall Sedge (Carex appressa) Spiny-headed Mat-rush (Lomandra longifolia) Juncus aka Rush Grass (Juncus flavidus) Mallee Honey-myrtle (Melaleuca ericifolia) Hop Goodenia (Goodenia ovata). 50% of your raingarden should be planted with these species. other 50% can be made up of plants that like a dry environment with intermittent wet periods. Planting regime Planting density 8 plants per m2 Denser planting is desirable to reduce the opportunity for weed establishment Spreading herbs / mat forming species in lieu of mulch. Note: Supplementary water may be required during the establishment period Mimulus repens 28

33 Swales Source: Remove sediments Promote infiltration Delay runoff peak flow Source: Melbourne Water Swale Unless the swale is discharging to an existing stormwater surface pit, an inground raingarden or infiltration raingarden, it will need to be fitted with an overflow pipe connected back into the stormwater system. Source: Melbourne Water 33
34 Material List 2 m 2 Swale Approx. cost $200 - $300 (plus the cost of a plumber). Source: Melbourne Water Maintenance Once established don t need to be watered or fertilised. Some weeding needed until plants have matured. Evenly distribute water flow into the swale to limit erosion from heavy rainfall - strategically placed rocks may help with - flow spreader can be attached to the end of the downpipe. 34
