Value proposition for water sensitive development in Townsville

Summary

This case study focuses on applying the Scenario Tool and INFFEWS Benefit: Cost Analysis and Value tools to assess the benefits of various water sensitive city interventions in Townsville.

The tools were applied at both the whole-of-city scale, along with the precinct scale, to explore how they add value across different scales and how the outputs can be used for different objectives.

Researchers and industry stakeholders were interested in exploring how the proposed interventions can be translated into on-ground solutions and demonstrations to generate broad buy-in and commitment for water sensitive development.
