City of Kingston – Mordialloc Industrial Precinct
Posted under: 
This project is the first time in Australia that public infrastructure, within an old industrial estate, has been renewed with the aim of using the harvested stormwater as a community asset.
Three industrial roads have been redesigned to harvest 4 mega litres (ML) of stormwater each year from factory roofs and road runoff to help protect Mordialloc Creek and irrigate adjacent park and street trees.
The major asset management outcomes from this $2.8M project involve:
- A major review of Stormwater Quality Treatment devices (e.g GPTs, pit inserts, and bioretention systems) to compare performance, durability, maintenance requirements, whole of life costs and overall suitability for industrial streetscapes.
- The development of a unique ‘Project Scoring’ system to help asset managers to compare competing Water Sensitive projects to aid business planning and funding decisions.
Additional investigation work, including the use of porous paving in an industrial environment, designing a new low cost silt trap and calculating green house gas emissions are other innovative aspects of this exciting project.
