Why Should you Attend IQPC’s Urban Water Infrastructure Projects conference?

Our Urban Water Infrastructure Projects event will give you the opportunity to hear directly from industry leaders, including those from National and QLD Government bodies, whom will provide you with valuable information on how:

• to overcome issues around the various capital costs associated with the planning and construction of either a recycling plant or desalination plant,
• to gain community buy-in when considering these infrastructure projects, and
• to forecast on-going operational and maintenance costs (both financial and environmental) of managing one of these new urban water infrastructure projects.

If you are looking to learn specific strategies to assist you in deciding which infrastructure project to invest in, as well as how to make the decision based on the best financial, environmental and operationally efficient outcomes, Urban Water Infrastructure Projects is the event for you.
