The wheels are turning on a critical initiative aimed at improving stormwater quality and management. The newly formed SQID Taskforce is holding its first workshop on February 13th, 2025. This initial session will bring together key committee and subcommittee members for a focused day of planning and collaboration.
While this particular workshop is a closed session designed for internal taskforce members, it marks the beginning of a process that will ultimately involve broader stakeholder input. The taskforce is committed to transparency and recognises the importance of diverse perspectives in tackling complex stormwater challenges.
The February 13th workshop will focus on several key areas, including defining the taskforce’s purpose and vision, establishing working methods, and beginning the crucial process of project planning. Participants will delve into the core issues surrounding stormwater management, identify opportunities for improvement, and lay the groundwork for a comprehensive project plan.
The outcomes of this initial workshop will be crucial in shaping the taskforce’s direction and priorities. The insights and plans developed will inform future stages of the project, which are expected to include opportunities for public and stakeholder input. While specific details on those future engagement opportunities are still being finalised, the taskforce is committed to keeping the community informed and involved as the project progresses.
This first workshop is a vital step in a larger effort to address critical gaps and identify improvements in stormwater management. The taskforce’s work promises to contribute significantly to creating healthier waterways and a more sustainable environment. Stay tuned for updates on the SQID Taskforce’s progress and information on how you can contribute your voice in the future. Further details about the taskforce’s goals and planned activities will be released in the coming weeks.
