Are you one of South Australia’s emerging urban water leaders looking to develop your skills in:
- building partnerships and

For Adelaide to become a National Park City, stronger partnerships between urban water and greening strategists and practitioners are needed. Do you have the knowledge and skills to support your organisation to deliver upon this vision?
