What is the USI?
The Urban Stormwater Initiative (USI) is a Commonwealth Government program aimed at stimulating solutions for better management of urban stormwater in coastal cities. The USI funds strategic projects that are both ecologically and economically significant. Projects involving partnerships between state and local governments, industry, applied research organisations and community groups are encouraged. This newsletter aims to promote innovative projects funded under the Initiative. It encourages information sharing about new approaches to stormwater management.
