GHD Digital’s innovation practice D-Lab has played a leading role in assisting the Australian Water Association (AWA) prepare for this year’s Ozwater conference in Adelaide, where the theme is Reimagining our Water Future.
In mid-April, D-Lab hosted a connected ‘visioning’ event across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra as part of AWA’s Water Leaders Forum. The event brought together close to 50 water industry leaders to imagine, capture and consolidate a vision of a positive future for Australia’s water sector.
Some key themes were identified during the event, including the need for the vision to acknowledge the following:
- Prioritisation of the value of water
- Bi-partisan approach to Australia’s water management and industry
- Shared decision-making, leadership and empowerment
- Recognition of the rise of the circular economy and sustainable outcomes
- Democratised data and Intellectual Property
- Importance of real-time monitoring for predictive action
- Proactive and diverse investments and new funding models
View the creative visual outputs from the session here.
GHD will be hosting the Water Leaders Forum session during the first day of the Ozwater Conference, where a summary of the D-Lab visioning event themes will be presented to conference delegates. This session will discuss how the vision can be turned into action, with leaders focusing in particular on their role in influencing a positive water future for industry, community and the environment.
Further information on the outcomes of this session will shared in the coming days on this site.
