The project primarily addresses the issue of urban water management and particularly focuses on stormwater and urban runoff in order to achieve sustainable water quality and conservation outcomes.

The project specifically addresses stormwater harvesting, water conservation and effluent reuse, salinity, lack of appropriate stormwater management in new urban developments, deteriorating water quality and declining natural flows in waterways.

The project also addresses waste management specificically litter reduction and sediment reduction (to improve water quality); the project includes the development and improvement of wetlands and vegetation management to improve flows in waterway.

The project will work with education, business, industry and households to increase sustainability performance in urban areas by encouraging the adoption of best practice in the use and reuse of water.
