The guidelines are reflective of the unique climate and soils within our region and are consistent with relevant state and regional planning policies that guide water quality and quantity outcomes in urban areas.

To assist in the development and delivery of the WSUD Technical Design Guidelines for the Coastal Dry Tropics, we would appreciate you taking the time to review the document, which will be open for public consultation until January 15, 2010.

The WSUD Technical Design Guidelines for the Coastal Dry Tropics region (Townsville) can be downloaded from the Townsville City Council website at:
