Guidelines and Tools for the Detailed Design Stage

A series of WSUD guidelines and tools are currently being prepared for the detailed design stage of a subdivision development. These will assist practitioners in preparing detailed designs of WSUD elements, including storwmater treatment systems. The Sub-division Development Guidelines will include detailed design procedures and worked examples, as well as information on incorporating health, safety and maintenance considerations into the design process. The Sub-division Development Guidelines are supported by a set of standard drawings and a vegetation selection guide.

The following draft documents are available:

  • Sub-division Development Guidelines (currently under development)
  • Standard Drawings: grass swale (PDF), raingarden (PDF), streetscape bioretention (PDF), wetland (PDF)
  • Vegetation Selection Guide (PDF)
