This brochure provides information on pervious paving and where it can be used in the water sensitive urban design process.
Pervious paving can be used as an alternative to traditional impervious hard surfaces used on roads, car parks, footpaths and public squares or plazas. Pervious pavement reduces runoff as some of the rainfall infiltrates into the soil below. Pervious pavement/paving can also provide an additional water storage system. There is a variety of pervious pavements such as porous asphalt, porous turf, porous concrete and permeable paving blocks.
