Learning through demonstration and integration (Project D1.4)

Project Leader
Status
In progress – commenced August 2015, to be completed June 2018
Location

Overview

Generating learning opportunities through demonstration projects and case studies will deliver tangible and practical outcomes for CRCWSC participants. Through focused, well-designed demonstrations of on-ground technologies and non-structural innovations (i.e. new guidance or strategic planning), Project D1.4 will deliver an important platform for collective action.

Demonstration projects will be critical sites for researchers to work alongside industry participants to actively synthesise relevant CRCWSC outputs to support application at varying scales (i.e. sub-municipal, municipal etc.). In addition, detailed documentation of case study examples provides critical learning tools for supporting sectoral capacity building programs.

 

Key outcomes

Demonstration projects are key to generating relevant information to 'ground-proof' novel concepts for changing contemporary practices.
Project D1.4 will deliver:

  • a series of select, on-ground demonstration projects to be identified and developed in collaboration with key industry partners;
  • industry-relevant case study reports reflecting on lessons learned and pathways forward from individual and collective demonstrations; and
  • informing or creating relevant industry networks to support replication and/or adaptation.

Latest Update

Quarter 3, FY2017/18

The draft detailed case studies for Orange and the Southbank Rainbank Stormwater Harvesting Scheme were sitting with project stakeholders for review and comment.

We arranged for the Orange case study to be launched at the welcome drinks for the Conservation in Action conference in Bathurst in May 2018.

Data collection started for the Adelaide Airport demonstration project, and the team developed draft text for the website.

The team generated approximately 20 short case studies on priority projects, and continued to develop the final document template.

We held a workshop with Inspire Design on a website for short case studies and demonstration projects. From the workshop, the website scope and quote for works were to be developed.

The team decided the project would take on no new demonstration projects. Of the nominated projects, one was discontinued, one was taken forward as a TAP test project, and the remainder may be potential research projects.

Our conference paper was accepted for the Ozwater Conference in Brisbane in May 2018.

An advisory group call was made in March.
