Delivering Practical, Evidence-Based Infrastructure Solutions

  • Blacktown City Council (PCD Automation Strategy): Delivered an end-to-end feasibility assessment, market scan and closed-loop "Push-API" integration strategy for Council's ~350 Pollution Control Devices (PCDs).

  • Hornsby Shire Council (GPT & WSUD Treatment Train Upgrades): Conducted physical audits across 45 stormwater sites, followed by detailed hydraulic modeling (DRAINS), topographic surveying, concept/detailed designs and Operation & Maintenance (O&M) manuals for 15 priority Gross Pollutant Trap (GPT) and Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) assets.
  • Illawarra Shoalhaven Joint Organisation (Natural Hazard Monitoring Sector Scan): Executed a multi-hazard technology scan evaluating ~140 suppliers and 120 sensor technologies across Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama and Shoalhaven Councils. Designed a standardised Regional Infrastructure Archetype framework to bridge macro-radar blind spots and de-risk IoT procurement.

Streamlined Procurement for NSW Councils

Through the LGP1208-5 panel, NSW councils can now directly engage Stormwater Services Australia for end-to-end consulting, condition auditing, hydraulic modeling, and smart asset automation via VendorPanel.

"Being appointed as an approved LGP Contractor reinforces our dedication to supporting local government with technically excellent, practical and economical stormwater solutions," said David Nixon, Director of Stormwater Services Australia. "Whether it's auditing aging catchments, designing WSUD retrofits or implementing smart IoT telemetry, our statewide team is ready to help councils protect local waterways and optimise ratepayer funds."
