E2Designlab worked in partnership with City of Darebin and key stakeholders to develop their Watershed strategy, an integrated vision and action plan for the municipality to become a water sensitive city. Strategy development involved a comprehensive engagement process, beginning with an informal forum with all council departments to raise awareness, and then a series of tailored workshops and one-on-one interviews with council staff and stakeholders to develop targets, actions and priority opportunities. A comprehensive evidence base was developed to underpin the strategy. A summary of the strategy was developed and desktop published to provide an accessible and engaging communication piece.
Water Sensitive City Outcomes:
- community and council engagement
- culture change
- integrated water management
