Draft Management Plan <strong>2005</strong>-2009<br />
S<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rmw<strong>at</strong>er, Coasts, and Estuaries<br />
The Ku-ring-gai Local Government area drains <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> three major s<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rmw<strong>at</strong>er c<strong>at</strong>chments,<br />
Middle Harbour <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the east, Cowan Creek <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the north and Lane Cove River <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the west.<br />
Development has <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g>en largely c<strong>on</strong>strained <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the ridges with <str<strong>on</strong>g>council</str<strong>on</strong>g> bushland and the<br />
Garigal, Ku-ring-gai Chase and Lane Cove N<strong>at</strong>i<strong>on</strong>al Parks providing a buffer <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> each <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
the major w<strong>at</strong>er courses.<br />
Council has recently prepared local c<strong>at</strong>chment plans for the Cowan Creek and Middle<br />
Harbour c<strong>at</strong>chments. These plans have investig<strong>at</strong>ed the capacity <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the drainage system<br />
and modelled the effects <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> flooding and the quality <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> run<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>f within the c<strong>at</strong>chment. A<br />
similar plan for the Lane Cove Valley will <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g> completed by June <strong>2005</strong>.<br />
In Novem<str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g>r 2004, Council adopted a draft Policy for Drainage works and Maintenance<br />
Procedures including a five year program for drainage works.<br />
The draft Policy is developed <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> manage Council’s drainage assets <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> alloc<strong>at</strong>e resources<br />
<strong>on</strong> a program basis taking in<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> account the severity and likelihood <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the risk. It uses<br />
ranking criteria <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> prioritise drainage works as well maintenance measures which are<br />
supported by c<strong>at</strong>chment research and modelling. It is designed <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g> flexible in order <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
c<strong>on</strong>sider Council’s budget provisi<strong>on</strong>s and its ability <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> resp<strong>on</strong>d <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> requests or notified<br />
problem areas.<br />
The c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> all our creeks have <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g>en mapped. This has for the first time provided<br />
Council with a snapshot <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the health <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> our riparian envir<strong>on</strong>ments.<br />
Following <strong>on</strong> from the mapping, in Decem<str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g>r Council adopted a riparian policy th<strong>at</strong><br />
seeks <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> improve the <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g>d and bank stability, provide basic habit<strong>at</strong> or enable robust<br />
biological links <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g>tween key envir<strong>on</strong>mental assets. The principles <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this policy have<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g>en included in the W<strong>at</strong>er Management development c<strong>on</strong>trol plan 47.<br />
In additi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Council’s <strong>on</strong>going programs, new initi<strong>at</strong>ives include:<br />
Investig<strong>at</strong>i<strong>on</strong> in<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> sustainable w<strong>at</strong>er management for Gord<strong>on</strong> and North Turramurra<br />
Golf Courses.<br />
Design and approval <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a s<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rmw<strong>at</strong>er harvesting project <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> provide the irrig<strong>at</strong>i<strong>on</strong><br />
needs <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Barra Brui Oval, St Ives whilst improving the quality <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> run <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>f <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the<br />
creeks, reducing erosi<strong>on</strong> and improving the c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the adjacent bushland.<br />
Joining Sydney W<strong>at</strong>er Corpor<strong>at</strong>i<strong>on</strong>’s Every Drop Counts program th<strong>at</strong> has assisted<br />
in the identific<strong>at</strong>i<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Council’s tap w<strong>at</strong>er use sites.<br />
C<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a w<strong>at</strong>erwise garden <strong>at</strong> Turramurra.<br />
Development <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a s<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rmw<strong>at</strong>er harvesting design for Gord<strong>on</strong> Golf Course.<br />
C<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a w<strong>at</strong>er sensitive road design <strong>at</strong> Minamurra Avenue, Gord<strong>on</strong> as part<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the road capital works program.<br />
