Our focus
Integrated Water Management
Integrated Water management (IWM) is an emerging method that optimises the role of water to create sustainable, liveable, inclusive and resilient cities, regions and towns. In 2020, we partnered with the Water Services Association of Australia to produce a report outlining best practice principles in integrated water management for water utilities.
Water and the SDGs
We’re working with key stakeholders throughout the Australian water sector to embed all 17 of the SDGs in strategic planning, policy and practice to support sustainability in the water sector.
Achieving a Net Zero Urban Water Cycle
The Victorian Government has mandated a Net Zero by 2050 commitment from water companies and asked them to pledge interim emission reduction targets by 2025. Our Net Zero Residential Households work is helping to reduce emissions from water use in households
