Postgraduate Student Profile
Sara Lloyd: Impediments and opportunities of sustainable Stormwater Management Schemes
Supervisors
- Associate Professor Tony Wong, Monash University
CRCCH project links
Personal background
- BSc (Geography/Environmental Sciences) Monash University,
1994
- MEngSc Monash University, 1997

Anticipated research outcomes/products
- Documentation of the necessary administrative and planning
support to promote the adoption of WSUD (Water Sensitive
Urban Design) in the land development industry
- Quantitative data on the economic and environmental benefits
in adopting WSUD
- Provide the basis for strategically implementing stormwater
management schemes
“Insufficient quantitative data on the integration of
best-practice planning and design principles for stormwater
management into land development has hampered the widespread
adoption of these principles by industry. Water Sensitive Urban
Design (WSUD) describes a new approach to urban planning and
design that offers sustainable solutions for the integration
of land development and the natural water cycle. Integrated
stormwater management systems are one component of WSUD, which
aim to minimise the impact of urban development on values associated
with the receiving waters, such as environmental and economic
values. My project aims to develop a framework for the adoption
of best practice in stormwater management.”
