Water smart business

Business and industry play a major part in protecting our waterways.

Brisbane City Council has just released its WaterSmart Strategy. Council will be rolling out implementation plans for the Strategy. Simple tips to help your business be water smart include:

Be a water smart workplace

Harvest the stormwater from your building and paved areas and reuse for irrigation or washing down vehicles. Create raingardens and investigate other water sensitive urban design opportunities. Also, don’t forget to Be FloodWise.

Care for your local waterway

Start a creek care group at work so you can keep rubbish and weeds out of the local creek, help re-establish native vegetation and educate your fellow workers. Contact your local catchment group to find out what help they need.

Support local water smart projects

Being a good corporate citizen is good for your business’ profile.

Be a water smart professional body

Encourage your colleagues to learn more about how water can be positively used in the design of private and public spaces.
