The Increasing Organizational Uptake of Source Control Approaches for Sustainable Stormwater Management

Abstract

This paper addresses a shortfall in research by investigating the case of the implementation of the Australian - New South Wales (NSW) State Government's Urban Stormwater Program. Over the last four years this Program has been successful in facilitating capacity development of local council officers and organisations (third tier of government), resulting in a shift from a dominant technocratic approach towards a sustainable and integrated stormwater management approach. The shift can be best characterised as the increasing organisational uptake of source control approaches. Here source control is defined as minimising the generation of excessive runoff and/or pollution of stormwater at or near its source through non-structural or structural techniques. Primarily these focus on integrating both social and physical management approaches of pollution generation, land-use practice and the rainfall-runoff process.
