Building Standards and Water Sensitive Urban Design
The Monash University Design and Construction Standards incorporate a range of requirements to reduce potable water use, including through use of efficient fixtures and fittings, improving drought tolerance of campus landscapes and prioritising non-potable water options where possible.
The University uses Water Sensitive Urban Design practices to ensure that campuses are purifying water resources on campus, reducing damaging peak flow and maximising efficiency of water harvesting systems and infiltration into campus landscapes while also reinvigorating and reinstating natural waterway habitats.
