The "Urban Water Management Strategies and Plans" (previously titled Urban Water Management Plans) dataset relates to integrating the land use planning system with planning for water management. The preparation of water management plans and strategies ensures that water is managed effectively in the urban form at each stage of the planning system.
The dataset is used by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation to identify drainage and water management plans, district water management strategies, local water management strategies, local water management frameworks and urban water management plans that have been prepared in accordance with the Better Urban Water Management (WAPC 2008) planning framework.
The outline of the areas for drainage and water management plans and district water management strategies may be included when the draft report is in preparation. Local water management strategies and urban water management plans that have been approved by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation shall be included in the dataset.
Amendments to the planning approval process occurred in October 2008 with the introduction of Better Urban Water Management (WAPC 2008). Reports prepared previously such as Drainage and Nutrient Management Plans, Nutrient and Pollutant Management Plans and Integrated Water Management Strategies, do not accurately correspond with a category outlined in the Better Urban Water Management framework. These plans have been allocated to the most appropriate category and may not be consistent with the requirements outlined in Better Urban Water Management.
Dataset was formally known as Urban Water Management Strategies and Plans (DOW-031)
