Major Projects
Shire of West Arthur Water Security Strategy
The South West region of WA has experienced a 15 to 20 percent decline in rainfall since the mid 1970’s, with a marked decline from the early 2000’s. The decline in available water resources over this period has been more severe, with declines in streamflow of 80 percent reported and up to 50 percent reduction in groundwater recharge. Most concerning is that future climate trends for the region are for hotter temperatures, reduced soil moisture and further reductions in rainfall.
The Shire of West Arthur recognised the risks to their community water supplies and wanted a strategy to address climate adaptation.
The outcomes of the strategy where:
- An estimate of water demand for a 25-year to 50-year planning horizon.
- An audit of current available water supplies, including identification of known groundwater and surface water supplies and the amount of water that could be drawn from these supplies.
- A current and future water demand estimate.
- Identification of areas where water supplies need to be developed.
- Identification of alternate water supply and adaptation options.
- Recommendations for priority projects and funding opportunities.
Subiaco East Redevelopment
The project consists of four precincts, which encompasses the former Subiaco Stadium site, PMH buildings, Mueller Park, Department of Communities landholding, private ownership, West Leederville train station and rail reserve.
Key services provided;
- Collation of the local and arterial pipe drainage details for establish a stormwater model for the Subiaco East precinct and immediate surrounds.
- Analyse of the Perth Waterwise Action Plan and collaboration with the Stantec Sustainability team to consider initiatives to achieve the actions.
- Preparation of a Local Water Management Strategy to support the Master Plan concepts.
- Preparation of an Urban Water Management Plan for subdivision approval of the Subiaco Oval Neighbourhood.
The results of the strategy will be a significant reduction in the stormwater outflow to the Water Corporation arterial drainage system and an enhanced local water source available for stormwater harvesting or fit-for purpose groundwater supply.
