Event Details

We're excited to invite you to an industry panel discussion on water resilience, happening Thursday, 8 May 2025, from 7:30amโ€“9:30am, at BDO Head Offices in Brisbane CBD.


As South East Queensland continues to grapple with the impacts of climate change, the importance of sustainable and future-ready water infrastructure has never been clearer. From prolonged droughts to intense flooding, our region faces growing challenges that demand collaborative, forward-thinking responses.


This event will spotlight major initiatives including the Dam Improvements Program that are reinforcing the region's water systems. It's a chance to hear from sector leaders and stakeholders on how strategic investments are enhancing reliability, protecting our environment, and supporting agricultural resilience.


Key topics include:

  • Equitable access to safe drinking water
  • Preparing for extreme weather through risk mitigation
  • Wastewater management as a cornerstone of climate resilience
  • Opportunities for public-private collaboration in infrastructure innovation


Together, we'll explore how collective action and smart investment in water resilience can unlock long-term economic and environmental benefits for Queensland.


Don't miss this opportunity to connect with key industry voices and help shape a sustainable water future for our state.

With thanks to our event sponsor Suez and our generous hosts at BDO Brisbane.


Spaces are filling fast - register today!


We look forward to seeing you all!
