Sustainable solutions and long-term thinking have never been more needed in our communities. Households, businesses, communities, organisations and governments throughout Aotearoa are grappling with the challenges and complexities of COVID-19, supply chain issues, workforce and talent shortages, cost escalations, climate change, new ways of working and multiple reforms affecting almost every sector in one way or another.
Te Pae, Christchurch, Ōtautahi | 3-5 October 2022
Read more about the conference
Our central theme of sustainability is far reaching and calls for communities to be sustainable not just environmentally, but also socially, culturally, and economically. Sustainability also characterises the importance of ensuring our taonga, treasured places, regions, and cities across New Zealand are preserved, enhanced, and can be enjoyed by future generations. We need a shift in our future thinking so that long-term benefits accrue regardless of the changing cycles we find ourselves in; economic, natural disaster, pandemic, political, or even geo-political. We’re also entering a time of change with reforms heralding a new way of delivering services and solutions. Reform across local government, three waters, environment and resource management, health and education provide an opportunity to leverage change. Sustainability can take a leading role within the new legislation, organisations, and industry approaches. It’s an opportunity too great to miss. Public works professionals play key roles in delivering sustainable infrastructure outcomes; through projects, planning, delivering services, leadership and all our spheres of influence. How we address the challenge of sustainability through reform is up to us. At Sustainability Through Reform we will inspire you, celebrate you, and upskill you to meet this challenge. I look forward to welcoming you to our conference in October as we grapple our future realities. IPWEA New Zealand President
At Sustainability Through Reform we are exploring the challenges and opportunities that our communities face in these times of change, and showcasing innovative ideas and responses.
Priyani de Silva-Currie
It wouldn’t be an IPWEA NZ conference without big picture thinkers challenging the way we see our sector! Our Keynote Speakers will tackle our journey to 2050 through the lens of sustainability and reforms, in an ever-changing landscape.
