A SHARED CHALLENGE
Stormwater Reform Needs Every Part of the System.
Stormwater is not just an environmental issue. It affects planning, housing, infrastructure, education, insurance, public health, biodiversity and local communities.
That is why Stormwater 2030 creates different pathways for different audiences; helping each group understand the problem, access relevant information and take practical action.
WHAT WE’RE WORKING TOWARDS
7 Outcomes That Connect Every Audience.
Stormwater reform looks different for communities, schools, government and industry; but the goal is the same: cleaner waterways, safer communities and better infrastructure for Australia.
Clean Our Beaches & Harbours
Our Fix: Mandating better infrastructure to trap toxic runoff at the source, ensuring our beaches & waterways stay clean and safe all year round.
Protect Native Wildlife
Our Fix: Enforcing strict, scientifically backed water quality targets and infrastructure upgrades to ensure urban runoff doesn’t destroy local habitats & wildlife.
Protect Our Seafood
Our Fix: Enforcing stricter, world-class filtration standards to stop microplastics at the source and ensure our local seafood remains safe, fresh and among the best in the world to eat.
Cut Building Costs
Our Fix: Advocating for a single, unified, common-sense set of stormwater standards to slash red tape and make housing more affordable for everyone.
Reduce Insurance Premiums
Our Fix: Enforcing smart infrastructure practices that prevent severe flooding, safeguard property values, and lower insurance premiums for both households and businesses.
Sustainable Water Cycles
Our Fix: Scaling up smart rainwater harvesting infrastructure to secure our local water supply and recharge our water tables.
