CRC received Highly Commended for Excellence in Integrated Stormwater Design for the remediation and upgrade of a section of the upper Cooks River, an asset of Sydney Water, which flows through a flood-affected industrial development at 15-19 Muir Road, Chullora NSW.
It’s the second time in recent years that CRC has been honoured for civil engineering in relation to sustainable water management, this project representing the only privately-funded infrastructure project to receive recognition.
"It's more often government-funded infrastructure projects getting the accolades, which is understandable. But this means there's not enough public awareness of the many privately-funded industrial projects that are making significant improvements to public assets, community amenities, and the natural environment across Australia - particularly in high-density metropolitan areas like western Sydney"
The project, honoured by Stormwater NSW at their 2020 event, was judged on the submission titled: Design for integrated stormwater and remediation of degraded Sydney Water asset resolving differing stakeholder requirements through collaboration to deliver multiple significant benefits and facilitate industrial infill development at Chullora NSW, about new facilities for PFD developed by Frasers Property.
The Stormwater NSW Awards for Excellence encourage and celebrate excellence in the innovation, development, completion, and management of stormwater projects and the people involved.
CRC is incredibly proud to receive this award, and we congratulate all other winners and entrants.
