Roads Australia is hosting a landmark industry Forum bringing together experts from around Australia to present the case for sustainability and adaptation of our road infrastructure to climate change.
The event won't just be of interest to the sustainability and environmental community but to CEOs and their senior managements from across the private and publics sectors - the issues go to the heart of how we run our businesses and build our roads in the 21st century.
This all day Forum commencing at 9.00am - 3.15pm will feature panel sessions on:
Climate proofing our roads: featuring leading authorities from government and the private sector talking about the design and construction challenges, together with insurance and liability implications, of building and maintaining roads in the era of climate change.
The Business Case for Sustainability: a Q&A style session that will put a panel of industry leaders under the spotlight, challenging them on how they are building sustainability into their businesses (and our roads) and whether the benefits are worth the cost.
