Parramatta Park Event Centre

Cnr Pitt & Macquarie Sts, Parramatta

9.00am till 2.00pm

Over the last two decades, governments and the private sector have installed increasing amounts of green infrastructure such as GPTs, wetlands and raingardens,
to meet environmental objectives. Yet billions of dollars worth of more investment is needed if we are to fully transition to a water sensitive city.
This seminar, being offered by Stormwater NSW and sponsored by Total Earth Care, will examine how we need to start acknowledging green infrastructure within our
asset management systems and to plan for its construction and maintenance. This not only includes new green infrastucture but existing natural assets such as creeks,
wetlands and bushland reserves.
Our presenters range from state and local governments, consultancies and researchers at the forefront of promoting green infrastructure.
This is an opportunity to hear the lastest thinking in natural asset management, and should not be missed!

Seminar Registration Fees
Seminar registration includes morning tea, lunch and a Seminar Workbook.
SIA Members – $175
Non Members – $195
Full Day Parking Permit – $7.00

Please note: There is only short stay meter parking available at Parramatta Park.
For upwards of 3 hours, a full day parking permit must be displayed.

Speaker topics may include a case study, design practice, research projects or company policy / practices in reducing emissions with green infrastructure, green roof or green wall design & installation best practice.

This 2011 conference offers exposure to new technologies, design practice and a chance to harness new ideas on implementing green infrastructure to the built form and urban planning.
