The National Urban Water Governance Program at Monash University, in collaboration with the International WaterCentre is hosting a series of 2-day workshops in Feb 2009 focused on Creating Water Sensitive Cities in Australia. Participants will hear from leading water, climate and social scientists, urban designers and industry practitioners about the water related challenges and opportunities currently facing our cities. They will also have the opportunity to share their views and collaborate with other professionals in creating the vision and strategy for water sensitive futures in Australia. Outcomes from the workshops will be presented to the National Water Commission and other government officials in the form of detailed recommendations for local and national urban water policy development and implementation.
