A community monitoring program has been established to provide feedback to the community, the stormwater industry and council on the function and performance of the vegetated infiltration basins in a dunal environment.
A Community Monitoring Program was undertaken to provide feedback to the community, the stormwater industry and council on the function and performance of vegetated infiltration basins in a dunal environment.
The monitoring program for the Golden Beach Vegetated Infiltration Basin was designed to collect and assess data for a range of parameters using appropriate sampling techniques.
The following information was collected:
- groundwater monitoring
- routine maintenance details
- sediment samples
- stormwater inflows
This program has now concluded, and the University of the Sunshine Coast has released their final report (PDF, 1594KB) on the performance of the vegetated infiltration basin.
