-
Private Sector (implementation in new town redevelopment project and land
development projects, provide conditions when approving the projects).

2.1 What Was Implemented in Lynbrook?
The Lynbrook demonstration project incorporating WSUD stormwater treatment
practices began construction in 1999 and covered an area of approximately 32 ha
including 270 allotments and public open space. The treatment train constructed
mainly comprised grass swales and underlying gravel trench that treat roof and
street run-off and convey it to an arti
cial wetland before its
final discharge into an
ornamental lake. More speci
