Join us in Adelaide for a focused afternoon examining the future of water infrastructure and security in South Australia.
This Thought Leadership Forum will bring together senior industry leaders to explore the increasing complexity of water delivery, from regulatory pressure and capital investment to programme risk, infrastructure constraints and long-term resilience.
The Forum will open with keynote remarks and in-conversation sessions with Chamber CEO Ticky Fullerton, featuring David Ryan, Chief Executive of SA Water, and The Hon Karlene Maywald, South Australia’s Water Ambassador. Together, they will provide senior perspectives on the policy, investment and delivery priorities shaping the state’s water future.
Subsequent panel discussions will provide a strategic perspective on risk, performance and investment across Australia’s water landscape, highlighting the importance of robust planning, dispute avoidance and effective project delivery in securing a sustainable future for the sector.
