Water in the community provides great recreational opportunities and social cohesion, but at the same time brings risks and impacts that need to be understood by the community, and increasing a communities resilience to water will underpin the successful outcome of living well with water.

Embracing the natural cycle of water quantity and quality provides the platform for a thriving, long term sustainable community, to which SLR appreciates these wider water aspects in the context setting of a local government..
