4 Multi-Purpose Use of Stormwater Infrastructure
Potential benefits of adopting a multi-use planning
approach include:
A reduction in the capital cost of providing drainage
infrastructure,
Lower cost open space and recreational facilities
compared with non-drainage corridor areas,
Access to a low cost secondary water supply source,
Increased real estate market values enabling a
greater return on investment, and
Opportunities to commercially exploit the
recreational values of drainage corridors and
waterways.
