– Frederick Street Catchment Project - Project Completed May 2024

City of Marion & Holdfast Bay

City of Marion & Holdfast Bay – Frederick Street Catchment Project – Construction Completed May 2024:

Data Collection On-going
  • The target of the project is to reduce stormwater runoff by 10-15%
  • 91 Kerb Space Inlet (R750) retrofitted into existing kerb
  • 31 Pits (P200L) models installed
  • 37 Trench (T275L) models installed

– Port Pirie – Project Ongoing:

Port Pirie Regional Council

Data Collection On-going

  • Installs are a part of the Greening Port Pirie Initiative, aimed at collecting stormwater to increase street tree canopy cover, resulting in reduced urban heat island effects and reduced water usage, along with creating greener roads with higher visual amenity
  • Currently, there have been 120 Shallow Infiltration Systems (SIDS) systems installed

– Cross Road & Fullarton Road – Project Completed August 2022

Department of Infrastructure and Transport

Data Collection On-going

– Project Ongoing:

City of Melton

  • The city of Melton (Victoria) established a policy to integrate passive irrigation using inlets and scaled up all new residential streets
  • This is a collaborative research trial undertaken by the City of Melton, Melbourne University, and designed by Alluvium Consulting.
  • The large-scale Kerb SPACE inlets application will provide irrigation to 130,000 trees to create a green canopy for 300,000 new residents.
