Securing Victoria's water future

Given the impact of climate variability, ageing infrastructure, and rising demand from both communities and industries, the pressure on water systems is intensifying across the country.

Following successful water security events in New South Wales, South Australia, and Western Australia, we spoke to local experts on the challenges, solutions, and opportunities for a more secure and sustainable water future in Victoria.

We heard from:

- University of Canberra Galambany Professorial Fellow, Professor Phil Duncan
- VicWater Chief Executive Officer, Jo Lim
- Infrastructure Victoria Chief Executive Officer, Dr Jonathan Spear 
- GHD Australian Water Market Leader, Lindsey Brown
