Stormwater Services Australia (SSA) is proud to announce a significant expansion of our specialist services to local government across New South Wales, underscored by regional leadership and a commitment to the highest standards of safety and quality. This evolution comes at a critical time as NSW councils face mounting infrastructure backlogs and increasing regulatory pressure to maintain functional Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) systems.
Award-Winning Leadership
Our commitment to excellence is driven from the top. We are delighted to share that our Executive Director, David Nixon, was recently(https://stormwaterservices.au/stormwater-services-australia-managing-director-david-nixon-honoured-with-ipwea-nsw-public-works-leader-of-the-year-award-highly-commended/) by the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia (IPWEA) NSW. This recognition reflects David’s lifelong dedication to the stormwater sector and his advocacy for sustainable, data-driven infrastructure management.
Simplified Procurement: Accepted on NSW Local Government Panel
Engaging expert support has never been easier for councils. We are pleased to announce that Stormwater Services Australia has been accepted on the new NSW Local Government Procurement (LGP) Panel. This appointment allows member councils to access our full suite of services through a streamlined, compliant procurement process that ensures best value for money and reduces administrative risk.
Furthermore, for our partners in the north, we remain a pre-qualified supplier on the Local Buy QLD/NT panels (including LB314 for Infrastructure and LB316 for Products), providing a consistent service standard across state borders.
Quadruple ISO Accreditation
In high-stakes environments, safety and quality are non-negotiable. SSA has achieved(https://stormwaterservices.au/leading-the-way-stormwater-services-australia-achieves-quadruple-iso-certification/), covering:
- ISO 9001: Quality Management
- ISO 14001: Environmental Management
- ISO 45001: Occupational Health & Safety
These certifications provide councils with the assurance that every audit, design, and maintenance task is performed under a rigorous, internationally recognised framework.
Expanded Services: Covering the Entire Stormwater Lifecycle
Our expanded services for councils now provide a single, accountable partner for every stage of asset management:
- Strategic Consulting & Digital Twins: We develop comprehensive IoT and remote sensing strategies, including our current work with Blacktown City Council, to transition local governments from reactive to predictive maintenance.
- Engineering & Specialist Design: Using industry-leading tools like MUSIC, H&H, and DRAINS modelling, we help councils justify CAPEX budgets and design civil-scale OSD and bioretention systems.
- Asset Condition & Lifecycle Audits: Our senior engineers provide professional grading (1-5 scale) for infrastructure portfolios, identifying structural risks before they lead to failure.
- Programmed Maintenance & Cleaning: From high-pressure pipe jetting and GPT cleaning to the specialised care of bio-retention basins and wetlands, we ensure systems meet waterway health targets and satisfy EPA compliance.
- Expert Witness & Causation Reports: We provide impartial, Court-compliant testimony for complex legal and insurance disputes regarding liability and drainage failure.
As we move into the critical winter maintenance window, Stormwater Services Australia is ready to help your council protect its assets and its community.
