Challenging economic and environmental issues affect everyone, and with this comes a responsibility and need to optimise the use of scarce resources to deliver the best outcomes for our community.
Come and hear how three local governments in Perth are making a case for creating and maintaining water sensitive urban design assets to achieve corporate goals of liveability, sustainability, resilience and productivity.
Martyn Glover, Director Technical Services, City of Nedlands; Jeremy Maher, Environmental Coordinator, City of Bayswater; and Martin Spencer, Senior Strategic Urban Planner, City of Melville will describe their local approaches and then participate in a panel discussion.
