Local Government
WMS has serviced local government clients since its inception in 2012. We partner with Councils to fully understand the issues being faced and bring about safe, sustainable solutions that meet the needs of both Council and the community. We understand that flooding and drainage issues do not exist in isolation, and our team is able to span various council departments to ensure civil solutions meet a range of required outcomes.

Secondments
- Strategic assessment management.
- Capital and Operational Works Planning.

- Review of development applications.
Drainage Management
- 1D and 2D flood modelling and mapping.
- Prioritisation of capital works.
