We would
like to take this opportunity to wish all of our readers, clients,
friends and colleagues a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy
holidays. We have enjoyed the year that was 2017 and are looking

Consulting will be closed from Wednesday 20th December 2017 to

In this

back at some of the major events from 2017.
QUDM Training
Course
Over the
past few months we announced that Storm Water Consulting would be
partnering with IPWEA and Grant Witheridge of Catchments and Creeks
to present training courses for the newly released Queensland Urban
Drainage Manual (QUDM 2017). We are pleased to update you all that
earlier this month the first QUDM training course was held in
Brisbane. The turnout was great and all participants enjoyed the
day learning about the new Queensland Urban Drainage Manual.
