MUSIC Modelling for Development Assessment | Webinar
11 June 2025 | 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
Online
Healthy Land & Water’s Water by Design program welcomes government and industry stakeholders to a webinar on MUSIC modelling as it applies to the development assessment process.
The Model for Urban Stormwater Improvement Conceptualisation (MUSIC) is used widely to assess compliance of stormwater treatment measures in new urban development against pollutant load reduction targets in the State Planning Policy (SPP). Understanding how best to use MUSIC within the development application process is essential for both achieving good on ground outcomes and smoothly navigating the development assessment process.
This training session, delivered by Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) experts Shaun Leinster and Leon Rowlands from Design Flow, will provide attendees with an opportunity to develop skills in MUSIC modelling as applied to the development assessment process.
This webinar will cover:
- Guideline contents and recommended model parameters.
- Meteorological template and source node.
- Split-catchment vs lumped source nodes.
- Representing typical treatment devices.
- Representing proprietary devices and devices in series.
- Role of MUSIC in conceptual design.
- Verifying model parameters against the concept design and development layout.
- The need to consider local Council policy and requirements.
- Things to look out for when using the MUSIC model
Note – this webinar assumes prior basic knowledge of MUSIC and does not cover how to build a MUSIC model from scratch.
