Pre Conference Workshops

Pre Conference Workshops will be held at the Wangaratta Performing Arts and Convention Centre, Wangaratta on Monday, 2 June 2025.

Please select if you would like to attend one of our Pre-Conference Workshops below. These workshops are run concurrently, so it is only possible to attend one. If you do not want to attend a workshop, please press the 'Next' button located at the bottom right corner of the page to continue.

Bioretention 101 will be run by Jamie Comley from J Comley Consulting and a representative from Clearwater. This special-offer Clearwater training is designed to provide participants with a holistic understanding of key considerations to successfully design, construct and maintain bioretention assets.  The course synthesises content from Clearwater’s Construction Hold Points training and Maintenance of WSUD Assets Training with new biofiltration design content to address and build understanding across the full lifecycle of biofiltration assets.

Aquatic Plants for Constructed Wetlands will be run by David Carew, who is the Principal of Carew Environmental. David Carew will be focusing on the integral nature of aquatic plants in stormwater treatment wetlands, and they are fundamental to their performance. This workshop will detail how plants provide the treatment services, and the conditions required for their ongoing health. Information on key aquatic plant species will be provided with a site visit to two wetlands to observe and identify them in the field. Participants will gain knowledge on aquatic plants to enable improved wetland design and maintenance programs.

Navigating Climate Change: Capacity Building Workshop for a Resilient Future will be run by Jessica Ward and Jacob Meehan from Spiire. This one-day workshop will explore the impact of climate change on stormwater management in Victoria and Australia, aiming to build capacity, enable collaboration and promote greater understanding of adaptation strategies. Participants will explore the impacts of climate change, such as increased rainfall intensity, flooding, urban heat, and drought, on existing stormwater systems and floodplains. The workshop will highlight adaptive strategies, climate-smart planning and updated policies, to improve resilience. The presentations will be supported by case studies, and interactive discussions and attendees will gain valuable insights into enhancing stormwater management practices and fostering collaboration across local governments, developers, and communities to build a more sustainable and climate-resilient future.

 

All workshop registrations are inclusive of morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.

 

Spaces are limited at these workshops.
