Aurecon was in involved the creation of the first stage of a region wide system that harvests, treats and stores stormwater and distributes non-potable water through western Adelaide sustaining a growing economy and enhancing our natural environment.
In 2008, Aurecon was engaged by the City of Charles Sturt to develop a Stormwater Management Plan (SMP) for the 600 ha Port Road catchment. Following approval of the SMP and funding allocation in 2010, Aurecon undertook project management, procurement, community engagement and planning services to ensure effective delivery of the entire Water Proofing the West Stage One project as well as the detailed design of a component of the Stage One works.
Aurecon’s design solution included a series of linear wetlands and sedimentation basins through the centre median of Old Port Road to provide both flood mitigation and water quality improvement. The project also created an attractive and engaging central median strip for Old Port Road.
The strategy Aurecon adopted and implemented through project management, procurement and community engagement established a logical, transparent and rigorous process, well understood by all parties and stakeholders.
A key outcome of the project was to offset the Council’s potable water demand by up to 555 ML/a and to harvest up to 2.4 GL/a and supply this water through a linking and distribution mains system for both industrial and domestic demands.
The project was the City of Charles Sturt’s largest ever infrastructure project upgrading the Old Port Road’s stormwater system which reduced the risk of flooding to properties in the Port Road catchment.
