- Event Description
- ACHIEVING SUSTAINABILITY IN URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT POLICY: LESSONS FROM THE PAST TO FACILITATE A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Presented by: AWA Law and Policy Specialist Network
Sustainable water management is an area that the AWA’s Water Management Law and Policy Network members have identified as requiring more debate.
This workshop aims to analyse the key regulatory, legislative and political challenges associated with sustainable urban water management, and how current policy can assist and hinder outcomes. The lessons learned that result from this workshop will be documented in a workshop report or discussion paper to be published by the Water Management Law and Policy Network. - Organisation

- The workshop will begin with an overview of key and topical instruments and recent research in the field of sustainable urban water management. The National Water Commission will also provide an overview of the direction of urban water policy in Australia.
Once the context is set, four interesting case studies will be presented representing key issues across four states. Audience participation will be encouraged and a lively panel discussion will be held to further draw out the lessons learned from each case study which could be applied more broadly in other jurisdictions.
Policies to be debated will include wastewater reuse, stormwater harvesting, integrated water management, water efficiency and the water planning process in urban and regional areas.
