Bringing together the leaders responsible for funding, planning and delivering water infrastructure as they navigate cost, complexity and delivery pressure

Australia’s water systems are under pressure. Ageing assets, rising demand and climate variability are already impacting performance, supply and resilience.

Billions are being invested, but delivery is the challenge. Projects are slowing, costs are rising and infrastructure must be built faster while performing under greater strain.

The Water Infrastructure Renewal and Delivery Summit brings together the leaders responsible for making this happen, focused on what is being delivered now, what is holding projects back and what must change to keep pace with demand.
