Sensitive Cities | Dear Clearwater Newsletter Subscriber,
Welcome to the latest update from the Clearwater team. In this edition, we share three new multimedia resources, including the filming of last week's seminar on 'Stormwater and Health in the Urban Environment'. Both videos capture some great questions and discussion from the evening.We feature the Royal Park Stormwater Harvesting project case study, which is currently under threat as the State Government plans to expand East West Link. There is an opportunity to provide Public Comment on this proposal. We launch our new range of tailored training and workshops, which we deliver on request. There are a number of upcoming industry events on offer, including a new seminar hosted by CRC for Water Sensitive Cities called The Economics of Water Sensitive Cities and Liveability.
Lastly, there are only 2 places left to attend next week's Stormwater Management: Principles and Practices course. You better be quick! |
