Join us on the evening of Tuesday, 25 February 2025 for the first Stormwater Victoria Seminar of 2025! The 2024 Climate Change Update to ARR Seminar will be held at the BECA Event Space, Melbourne Quarter Tower from 5:00pm - 8:30pm.

This will be a technical workshop regarding the 2024 climate change update to the Australian Rainfall and Runoff (ARR v4.2) guideline. The workshop will include a formal presentation by Monique Retallick, a modelling specialist with practical experience with the climate change methodology and Mark Babister, an ARR editor, where they will discuss the climate change updates.

The release of ARR v4.2 marks a significant shift in how climate change impacts are modeled, particularly in relation to rainfall and losses. This technical workshop will guide you through the updates, offering critical insights and practical advice on how to apply the new methodologies in real-world scenarios.

A panel discussion will follow up the ARR v4.2 climate change presentation. The panellists will include Melbourne Water and other local government representatives, and the aim of the discussion will be climate change guidelines applications and challenges in Victoria.

Description:

The Stormwater Victoria Conference Organising Committee invites you to join us at our 2025 Conference, themed 'More than the Sum of Our Parts: the Value of Collective Action.' Taking place at Wangaratta Performing Arts and Convention Centre, Wangaratta, VIC on Tuesday, 3 and Wednesday 4 June 2025.  

This event offers an exciting opportunity for professionals across the stormwater sector to connect, learn, and share knowledge. Optional pre-conference workshops are scheduled for Monday 2 June, followed by a Technical Tour on Thursday 5 June.

As Victoria faces increasing challenges from climate change, rapid population growth, and the pressure of housing development, we find ourselves at a critical crossroads for urban water management. Thoughtfully managed stormwater holds great potential to transform our cities and towns, providing water security, reducing flood risk, enhancing biodiversity, and fostering resilient, cooler, and greener urban environments.

But we can't do it alone. The success of stormwater management relies on collaboration across every stage—from planning to long-term maintenance. Through collective action, we can make a meaningful difference.

Be part of the change, and join us at the Stormwater Victoria 2025 Conference to learn, contribute, and network with experts dedicated to a sustainable urban water future. We look forward to seeing you there!
