Chironomid midge and mosquito risk assessment guide for constructed water bodies (PDF 877KB)
This risk assessment guide has been developed to provide assistance to Approving Agencies, Developers and Landscape Designers in assessing design characteristics of proposed and existing Constructed Water Bodies. This document has been endorsed by the Department of Water, Department of Health and the Water Corporation. It is intended to provide a balance to minimising the potential for midge and mosquito breeding whilst at the same time endeavouring to allow flexibility in design and construction options. The guide provides a risk rating to various design parameters and users should select the most appropriate description of the proposed water body.
