Scenario Tool worked example: Highett Gasworks

Summary

The Scenario Tool was used to assess how various development options will impact urban heat and the water cycle in a hypothetical development at the Highett Gasworks.

The heat maps and water cycle infographics produced by the tool clearly communicate the development impacts and benefits of including water sensitive initiatives. These results make the tool useful in early planning stages to select appropriate water sensitive strategies for future developments.

This report provides site background, scenario selection, input data preparation, the model set up and finally discussion on how to interpret model results.
