Join CEDA’s audience when we question Australia’s ability to manage the effects of climate change, drought and population growth on water security.

Water is a critical service – its provisioning and supply underpins economic, urban and regional development. The industry is a $13 billion revenue market employing over 16,000 people across the country. Industry stewards understand that the viability of communities, businesses and industries across Australia depends on getting water right.

Following much strong work in the past, the momentum of water policy reform has not kept pace with new demands. Hear the next phase of reform, the complex issues of water, and how to improve our management of this fragile system, too often taken for granted but perpetually relied on for growth.

Speakers:

Daryl Quinlivan, Secretary, Department of Agriculture and Water Resources
Professor Tony Wong, Chief Executive Officer, Cooperative Research Centre for Water Sensitive Cities
