Brisbane’s river is both its greatest asset as well as its greatest challenge. Flooding has not only changed the face of the city but has also driven innovation in planning and engineering.
Building resilience in the river city is your chance to get an inside look at the major planning and engineering projects at the Brisbane River frontlines shaping the future of the city. We will explore nation leading projects – Waterfront Brisbane and Queen’s Wharf, with expert panels sharing their insight on how you can build climate resilience into your next project.
