- The prominent infrastructure issues related to energy, water security, stormwater and flooding, transport, communications and broader engineering infrastructure will be addressed within this node.
- Richard Stuetz working in collaboration with Justin Brookes of Adelaide University’s Institute for Climate Change and Sustainability will lead in exploration of adaptation technology and management to ensure water security in face of climate change – encompassing improved and sustainable water and wastewater services including potable water and wastewater technology in cities and settlements. This research network partnership will work with water utilities in setting the planning and the priority needs through the Water Association of Australia and Water Quality Research Australia.
- Bill Peirson will lead the network members in considerations related to energy, flooding and stormwater adaptation. Reduced average rainfall coupled with more intense extreme storm events and rising sea levels require the development of innovative adaptive responses in stormwater infrastructure and flood plain management.
