Healthy Waterways in Brisbane, Australia is keen to launch a CBSM campaign that tackles the problem of sediment running from construction sites and into waterways. Has anyone run a campaign that focusses on the behaviour of developers, builders, sub-contractors or local government compliance officers on this topic? There has been many information campaigns but I have not found much about targetted behaviour change and would like to draw on any experience in the CBSM community.
Thanks, in advance.

Hi Michele,
The Cities of Gosnells and Armadale did a joint behaviour change trial with builders to reduce sediment and erosion from green a field development. More information is available here: http://www.gosnells.wa.gov.au/About_our_City/Environment/Caring_for_our_environment/Rivers_and_waterways/Sediment_and_erosion_project
Good luck!

Hi Michelle:
I conducted barrier and benefit research on sediment control at construction sites for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. My contact at MPCA was Cathy Jensen ([email protected]). You might contact Cathy to see if you can access that information.
Best, Doug

Hi, thank you for starting this thread. I'd also love to hear more about any CBSM efforts out there focused on reducing sediment runoff at construction sites by targeting developers and builders.
