Abstract
In 2005, Clearwater (the Victorian capacity building program) led two major initiatives to identify the current issues, barriers and trends influencing the implementation of sustainable urban water management (SUWM) practices in Victoria. Outcomes of these two initiatives provided insights into the impediments to adoption and the varying levels of commitment to SUWM by various stakeholder groups in the water sector. Results are now informing state and local decision makers of the organisational and individual capacity issues impacting on widespread implementation.Now in its fourth year, Clearwater has been building the capacity of local government and industry professionals across Victoria to deliver SUWM and has grown to be recognised as a significant knowledge broker and leader in the design and delivery ofbest practice professional development for SUWM. Clearwater has established itself as a key agent in the transfer and delivery of resources, programs and policy at the state level through to local government and industry professionals. The program is now a model for capacity building, which has informed similar programs internationally and is being replicated by organisations across Australia
