Guide to Green-blue Infrastructure

INVESTIGATION & CAPACITY BUILDING

Scope of Work

In collaboration with TOverman Sustainability (previously known as Encader Consulting), Foresight Advisory assisted in the development of the Guide to Green-blue Infrastructure for Small Towns.

This guideline involved significant engagement with a number of Central Highlands Councils to develop Green-blue infrastructure solutions for new capital works or retrofit projects in small towns.

This Guide aims to provide introductory level information on the concepts and techniques for green-blue infrastructure in small towns.

The intention is to help raise awareness of the benefits of Green Blue Infrastructure for more liveable and resilient small towns in Local Governments and encourage the conversations and collaborations necessary to plan, design and implement practical solutions.

This Guide results from a joint initiative of the Shires of Golden Plains, Central Goldfields, Pyrenees and Moorabool,
Central Highlands Water and the Department of Environment, Land Water and Planning.

Whilst the information in this Guide relates specifically to the roles of local Government in Green Blue Infrastructure solutions; it is acknowledged that other parties are likely to be involved and may find it helpful, such as:

  • Water Corporations
  • Catchment Management Authorities
  • Government departments such as DELWP and DHS
  • Local communities
  • Traditional Owners
