Vasse Lifestyle Village

Local Water Management Strategy

A National Lifestyle Villages Project.

August 2015

DA15/0644


Introduction

The Vasse Lifestyle Village design, proposed for Lot 1102 Napolean Drive Vasse, by National Lifestyle

Villages (NLV), employs a number of integrated strategies for stormwater flows, managing storm

events, minimising erosion and protecting groundwater quality.

All the strategies undertaken by NLV demonstrate their effectiveness in containing and managing all

stormwater and drainage on-site.

NLV villages are acknowledged for sound water management in their design, recognised by a

significant number of awards over the past decade, including: Overall winner, WA Environment

Award; Banksia Award for Environmental Excellence, Built Environment Category; UDIA Award for

Urban Water Excellence; WA Water Awards, Water Recycling Merit Award.

Unlike standard residential subdivisions, the entire land title remains in the ownership and

management of NLV. This is significant in the context of the requirement for urban water

management plans for conventional residential subdivision. In Lifestyle Villages there is a

significantly greater capacity to control built form outcomes and management of drainage networks

compared with conventional subdivisions.

The major underlying principle of all proposed strategies is the improvement of water quality prior

to infiltration or dispersal, through harvesting, conveying and bio-retention.

At the level of individual homes, rainwater from roofs is collected in 2000 Litre rainwater tanks on

each house, providing water for flushing toilets and washing machines. Overflow from the tanks is

piped to individual rain gardens in the home back gardens, and overflow from the rain gardens is

infiltrated to the ground using soakwells located at least 500mm above the ground water table. Run

off from paving around the homes is either distributed by sheeting across vegetated areas, or in the

case of driveways, directed to the swale system that runs along the roads.

At a village level, stormwater run-off from roads is directed into roadside swales which form the

front gardens of the homes. The swales fall at a maximum of 1% in their length, to maximise

infiltration, and are heavily vegetated to maximise water purification. The swale system incorporates

precinct scale bio-retention basins - large rain gardens - located in pocket parks where retention and

infiltration increase water quality. Overflow from the basins is directed through the swale system to

one of three outlet points – two to the drainage reserve to the north of the site, and a third to the

Buayanyup Drain near the clubhouse.

DA15/0644


This site plan illustrates the flow patterns of water on site and quantifies the catchment and

infiltration areas.

DA15/0644


Swales

Swales are very important for disconnecting impervious areas from downstream surface water

bodies and receiving environments.

Swales convey stormwater, promote infiltration, reduce stormwater peak flow, velocity and volume,

and remove course and medium sediments, including suspended solids and trace metals.

A vegetated swale is a broad, shallow channel with vegetation covering the side slopes and base.

Vegetation can range from grass to native sedges and shrubs, depending on hydraulic and landscape

requirements. Vegetated swales are used instead of the conventional piped system as part of

stormwater conveyance. In the Vasse Lifestyle Village, the swales form the entire front garden of the

homes, providing an attractive streetscape and high capacity - 4.25 cubic metres per house of

retention and conveyance.

As quoted in the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Australia, swales assist in protecting surface water bodies from frequent storm events by reducing flow velocity compared to discharges from piped drainage systems. They enhance biological diversity, create beneficial habitat and improve visual aesthetics.

In the Vasse Lifestyle Village, the swales will assist in distributing stormwater via infiltration, recharging the superficial aquifer and reducing the quantity of water transported to the bio-retention basins and the adjacent drainage reserves.

Studies in the United States of America showed that vegetated swales were capable of removing many pollutants found in stormwater, with reported removal efficiencies of 83% for sediment, 75% for hydrocarbons, 67% for lead, 63% for zinc and 63% for aluminium (Schueler1995). Removal of heavy metals appears to be directly related to removal of sediment.

The following table illustrates the typical annual pollution load removal efficiencies for vegetated

swales (from Stormwater Management Manual for Western Australia DoW & Swan River Trust)

Litter 90%

Total Suspended Solids 60 – 80%

Total Nitrogen 25 - 40%

Total Phosphorus 30 – 50%

Coarse Sediment 90%

DA15/0644


The graphic below demonstrates the swale system and illustrates the capacity compared with a 1hour/5 year rainfall event.

The City of Busselton Stormwater and Drainage Policies require retention of storm water at the rate

of 1m3 per 40 m2 of impervious area, based on the 1hour/5 year rainfall event, as a worst case. As

illustrated in the graphic above, the capacity of the roadside swales exceeds this amount by 325%.

Bio-retention Basins – Rain Gardens

Bio-retention Basins, or rain gardens, are vegetated detention areas that are designed and built

specifically to remove pollutants from stormwater runoff. They differ from constructed lakes, which

are defined as constructed, permanently inundated basins of open water, in that they mimic the

ephemeral (i.e. where the water level fluctuates and the water body dries out) character of natural

wetlands on the Swan Coastal Plan and provide effective water pollution filters. Rain gardens are

essentially retention and infiltration systems.

Bio-retention is particularly useful where stormwater contains high concentrations of soluble

material that is difficult to remove with other treatment methods. In the Vasse project they have

been established in two differing locations – at an individual home scale, providing a filtration and

retention function leading to subsurface soakwells; and at a precinct scale, located to retain and

infiltrate water as components in the conveyance system, protecting downstream environments

from erosion and flooding. Rain gardens also increase habitat for bacteria, fungi and fauna using

dense vegetation with shallow root systems for biofilm creation and optimisation of water

treatment.

DA15/0644


TYPICAL HOUSE WATER TANK & RAIN GARDEN

The rain gardens located with every house are designed to retain and improve the quality of

stormwater prior to infiltration. At a precinct level, there are 5 larger bio-retention basins, with two

DA15/0644


located near the community facilities to the west of the site, and 3 at the outfalls of the swale

system, to improve water quality and strip nutrients prior to discharge to the Buayanyup Drain.

The following table illustrates the typical annual pollution load removal efficiencies for

bio-retention basins

(from Stormwater Management Manual for Western Australia DoW & Swan River Trust)

Litter -

Total Suspended Solids 80%

Total Nitrogen 50%

Total Phosphorus 60%

Heavy Metals 80%

Coarse Sediment 90%

According to the Midge Research Group of Western Australia’s (2006) Chironomid Midge and

Mosquito Risk Assessment Guide for Constructed Water Bodies, ephemeral water bodies generally

present the lowest risk for mosquitoes and midges.

Infiltration

The site, as existing, has been filled and levelled with clean sand fill, providing a good level of

permeability for infiltration. Stormwater from house roofs will be harvested for non-potable re-use

within the homes, with surplus piped to individual rain gardens, These will provide a lush, green

component for each house, retain the water sufficiently to strip nutrients, notably Nitrogen,

Phosphorus and any heavy metals, and provide infiltration. In the event of a major rainfall event,

stormwater will be piped from an overflow in the rain garden to subsurface soak-wells.

The stormwater from roads will be conveyed by vegetated swales to precinct bio-retention basins

where nutrients will be stripped before being conveyed to the drainage reserve to the north and the

Buayanyup Drain to the east.

The proposed park to the south east of the village will include a large bio-retention basin as a central

element in a park, formed and vegetated with the development of this project. Revegetation of the

wetland surrounds will improve the water quality by capturing nutrients and pollutants. The fringing

vegetation will shade the water providing water temperatures more conducive to nutrient

processing and limiting algal growth.

The Buayanyup Drain

The Buayanyup River adjacent to the Vasse Lifestyle Village is essentially now a man-made ditch,

with little indigenous vegetation and poor aquatic habitat. The banks are straight, dominated by

kikuyu grass and there is no shading of the water. Research has demonstrated that introduced

grasses are less effective than native vegetation at filtering nutrients, and shading is extremely

beneficial for reducing water temperature and improving habitat.

DA15/0644


The development of the Lifestyle Village on this site provides an excellent opportunity to improve

the current situation, in line with the broad recommendations of the Buayanyup River Action Plan.

Following detailed consultation with the City of Busselton and the Department of Water, it is the

proponent’s intention to rehabilitate the riparian zone by improving the shape and revegetating the

banks, providing a diverse plant community along the full length of the site and therefore increase

bank stability and improve stream habitat.

As part of the Detailed Area Plan, it is a requirement to provide a clear pathway across the site for

any overflowing of the Buayanyup Drain. As shown on the site plan this is achieved in two ways:

Within the adjacent land, outside the village boundary, there is a significant level difference to the

Buayanyup drain which, in the first instance will accommodate a significant volume. Should the drain

flood further than that area, the dual swale system running along the north south perimeter road in

the village will link to the drainage reserve to the north of the site. As previously demonstrated, this

system will provide for a capacity of 1000 litres per linear metre (50% each side of the road). The

floor level of adjacent houses to this swale system will be a minimum of 200mm above road level.

DA15/0644


Nutrient Run-off

The landscape design for the Vasse Lifestyle Village will be based on indigenous cultivars which will

grow well on the site because they are endemic to it. The development provides an opportunity to

re-introduce vegetation communities which have been lost on the site and in the adjacent

Buayanyup Drain reserve. There will be very little turf in the village, and no use of chemical fertilisers

or herbicides, as demonstrated in other National Lifestyle Villages, awarded for water management

and nutrient control.

This minimises nutrient run off to the Buayanyup River and wetlands and greatly assists water

quality. Information from the Stormwater Management Manual for WA lists the following species

for swales and bio-retention basin/rain gardens, which will grow well on this site and assist in

stripping nutrients, providing an environment for limiting pollution.

Vegetation types for wetlands on the Swan Coastal Plain (adapted from Department of Water &

Swan River Trust, in preparation)

Channel and shallow permanent basins Closed sedgeland and rushes Eleocharis acuta, Baumea

juncea, Baumea articulata, Juncus kraussii

Near-permanent basins Scattered sedgeland with submergents Triglochin huegelii, Villarsia spp,

Schoenoplectus validus

Lower swale/floodplain Melaleuca woodlands Melaleuca rhaphiophylla, Melaleuca preissiana

Upper swale (dryland) Closed rushland, sedgeland and heathland Melaleuca preissiana, Kunzea

ericifolia, Baumea juncea

The proposed park area on the sewer easement to the south east corner of the site and the land

adjoining the water course of the Buayanyup Drain will be planted with indigenous species

appropriate to the area as identified in the Buayanyup River Action Plan. (see Appendix). The Vasse

Lifestyle Village grounds and maintenance staff will manage and care for the plantings in these

areas, improving water quality and fauna habitat, whilst greatly improving visual amenity.

NLV Villages Water Quality

NLV villages are acknowledged for sound water management in their design, recognised by a

significant number of awards over the past decade, including: Overall winner, WA Environment

Award; Banksia Award for Environmental Excellence, Built Environment Category; UDIA Award for

Urban Water Excellence; WA Water Awards, Water Recycling Merit Award.

Unlike standard residential subdivisions, the entire land title remains in the ownership and

management of NLV. This allows for significant stewardship of the land, with a strong environmental

agenda influencing all design and management decisions. For instance, all landscaping is based on

indigenous cultivars – should residents wish to have any exotic plants these must be contained in a

pot on paving, rather than being planted in the soil. NLV management nurtures and maintains all

common areas, and all home front gardens, enabling strict control over herbicides, nutrient budgets

and use of water. All occupants sign a Residential Site Agreement which clearly sets out the rights

and responsibilities of both NLV as manager and the resident. This RSA includes controls over

elements like car washing – in designated wash down bays with collection and filtering of run-off; -

gardens, limiting the extent of lawns and prohibiting the planting of exotics.

Academics from Murdoch University were consulted on and later studied the use of wastewater

recycling at an NLV village – the Bridgewater Lifestyle Village. As part of that study, groundwater

monitoring was carried out over a 3 year period. Whilst the Vasse project will not be recycling waste

water, the results of the Murdoch testing illustrate that, even with that activity, the design and

management practices in NLV villages protect ground water quality.

An excerpt from the paper – Demonstration of Decentralised Wastewater Recycling in Urban Villages

in Western Australia – C.Evans, M.Anda, G.Ho & S.Dallas, Murdoch University, WA follows:

Monitoring of chemical & microbial constituents in groundwater at BWLV Groundwater samples were taken at BWLV throughout 2006 – 2009. Physical and chemical tests were carried out based on the greywater components likely to have detrimental effects on surrounding water bodies. A comparison of water quality parameters between 2006 (prior to greywater reuse) to 2009 (after greywater had been applied via irrigation) showed TN remained relatively stable and relatively low followed by a slight increase in 2009. TP is also very low for both before and after greywater application. Groundwater analysis showed relatively low levels of nutrient concentrations with NO3 and TP being within recommended limits.

It is both the built form elements and governance as described above that have resulted in NLV’s

award winning urban water management practices. Taking a stewardship approach to management

has enabled NLV to innovate the manner in which these management controls can take place which

is unique to the Lifestyle Village model and not capable of being replicated under a conventional

residential sub-division.

Conclusion

As demonstrated above, the stormwater strategies proposed for the Vasse Lifestyle Village will be

capable of managing urban storm water from significant rainfall events, and at the same time

improve the quality of water infiltrated into the ground. These strategies will be further elaborated

and documented as part of the production of engineering and construction designs for the village.

Further, the rehabilitation of the Buayanyup Drain will improve both the ecology and the visual

amenity of this significant element in the landscape.
