A range of links, contacts and supplementary material.

The objectives of this case study were to provide an example of how a risk assessment of an urban drainage system can be undertaken using an existing operational model.

Urban Infrastructure and the Built Environment Toolbox case study

The Decision Tools in this Toolbox can be used to inform and direct the decision-making process.

The Toolbox is primarily designed for New Zealand city council staff with a range of roles and responsibilities, including infrastructure management, urban development and emergency management.

What do we know about weather hazards?

Are more water restrictions on the agenda?

Will our drainage systems still cope?

Will the risk of rainfall-induced lanslides change?

What will be the effects of sea level rise?

Case studies were performed with numerous councils, and the results integrated throughout the Toolbox as well as being discussed briefly here.

The Impacts of Climate Change on Urban Infrastructure and the Built Environment Toolbox has five trays representing the key stages of an evaluative process.
