The draft IWM Strategy has been prepared in two parts:

  • Part A of the Strategy includes the purpose, vision, guiding principles, strategic directions and actions.
  • Part B of the Strategy is the background report that outlines information about integrated water management, the policy and legislative framework and water use in Manningham. It also addresses flooding and how traditional drainage complements the IWM approach.

IWM is a collaborative approach to the way we plan, manage and deliver water services. It addresses water consumption, rainwater, stormwater, wastewater, ground water and flood management to secure a range of environmental, social and economic benefits for the wider community.
