Water Management
All of Parramatta's catchments drain to the Parramatta River, a highly significant tidal estuary in Sydney. To protect this resource, impacts on receiving water quality from further development of the catchments needs to be minimised. Stormwater drainage networks and the floodway capacity of waterways need to be managed whilst preserving/enhancing the ecological integrity of the waterway systems.
