Event Details

Join us for a panel discussion on water resilience on 8th May 2025, from 7:30am to 9:30am at BDO Head Offices in Brisbane CBD.


As our region faces the growing impacts of climate change and increasing pressure on water resources, the need for water resilience has never been more critical. Queensland is set to encounter significant challenges, including droughts and flooding, highlighting the urgency for innovative and sustainable water management solutions.


This industry event will focus on strengthening South East Queensland's water infrastructure, showcasing key initiatives such as the Dam Improvements Program, which plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and integrity of our water supply systems.


Industry experts and local stakeholders will come together to explore how strategic investment in water resilience can deliver substantial benefitsโ€”safeguarding drinking water, protecting ecosystems, and enhancing agricultural productivity.


Our discussions will address pressing concerns, including equitable access to clean water, risk mitigation strategies for extreme weather events, and the vital role of wastewater management in a comprehensive water strategy.


A key theme of this event is the power of collaboration. We will explore how partnerships between the private sector and public organisations can unlock market capacity, drive forward-thinking solutions, and foster innovation in water infrastructure. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with industry leaders, gaining insights on how investment in advanced wastewater technologies and resilient water systems can stimulate economic growth and create sustainable, long-term business models.


By working together, we can secure a sustainable water future for Queensland โ€” one that supports thriving communities, drives innovation, and strengthens our ability to manage the challenges ahead.


A special thanks to Suez for sponsoring this event and BDO Brisbane for generously hosting us. Your support made this event possible, and we truly appreciate your contributions.

We look forward to seeing you all!
