To assist member Councils, Georges Riverkeeper (GRK) engaged Optimal Stormwater and Water Sensitive Cities Australia (WSCA) for the Assessment of Gross Pollutant Traps Project in the Georges River Catchment.
The scope of work required a literature review of the GPT industry, stakeholder engagement, conceptual modelling, and preparation of a Practical Guide for GPT Planning, Design & Procurement to assist GRK Councils with planning, design, specification, and operation of GPTs.
The Guide covers a range of key areas for Councils to reference/use to develop a GPT program tailored to meet the needs of the LGA.
The Guide has been prepared for a range of stakeholders including planners, engineers, asset managers and consultants and encourages discussion and collaboration.
Whilst this Guide was prepared for the Georges Riverkeeper, the suggestions, guidance and recommendations provided can really be used by any developer or Council planning or reviewing their response to managing gross pollution and litter.
This project received funding from the Australian Government.
