February 2007 Workshops

In February 2007, a series of workshops was held around the country: Takapuna, Rotorua, Palmerston North, Wellington, Christchurch and Gore.  The objective was to bring together representatives of all those involved in managing road and stormwater assets, whether employed by a territorial local authority, Transit New Zealand, Land Transport New Zealand, as well as consultants, contractors, planners, researchers, manufacturers and suppliers.

The workshops were a follow-on from the 2006 survey, in which many respondents indicated a desire and need for more training and education.  The presentations were aimed to raise awareness of the issues and present recent research and guidelines, which would be of assistance to people in their daily work.

The slides of the presentations are available in printed form.  These, and a CD with both the slides of presentations and additional material, are available from the Stormwater Group Administrator.

Delegates considered the workshops useful and informative, providing a good update of current activities relating to stormwater.  They  were described as well-run, with a good range of speakers, discussions, and presentations.
