Wastewater and Recycling, GHD
With more than 25 years’ experience, I have seen the water sector tackle many incredible challenges – the drive to low nutrient discharge, embracing water recycling during the millennium drought, grappling with emerging contaminants and now addressing climate resiliency. My experience extends across the breadth of wastewater treatment and recycling projects including leading the design and developing wastewater strategy for numerous large and small-scale wastewater and resource recovery projects. With the water sector currently experiencing significant transformation, it’s an exciting time to be working together with our clients to create sustainable solutions.
How we're engaging with our industry
Circular Economy
As we work towards net zero goals for decarbonisation, respond to the decline of natural resources and address the vulnerability of global supply chains, circular economy presents a timely model for change.
The water industry is inherently circular. End-of-line elements such as biosolid and waste-to-energy solutions have been operational for decades. Now, new thinking has the potential to apply circular principles throughout the lifecycle of operations and beyond, connecting the water industry to local economies to unlock more sustainable, whole-of-community outcomes.
