IS Practitioners eXchange and Certification Function NSW

The growing importance of Infrastructure Sustainability Accredited Professionals (ISAPs) for the attainment of sustainable outcomes in infrastructure cannot be understated. As the community of ISAPs grows, so does the industry demand for their skills, knowledge and mindsets.

To support this growth, we are hosting an IS Practitioners eXchange and Certification Function so we can come together and enhance technical capability, deepen our understanding, and strengthen the industry connections.

Thought leadership paper: Towards a nature positive future for the water sector.

Join us as we launch the thought leadership paper: Towards a nature positive future for the water sector. 

Discover the critical role of natural capital and how water utilities can embed nature into their decision-making processes to build a resilient, adaptive and nature-positive future.

As the Australia and New Zealand water sectors navigate the complexities of integrating natural capital approaches, we'll draw inspiration and learning from over a decade of progress in the UK water sector.

Hosted by Dr Kerry Griffiths, Infrastructure Sustainability Council's Director of Thought Leadership, featuring authors from the UK and Australia:

  • Valerie Robertson, Jacobs (UK) Senior Associate Director, Environmental Economics
  • Emma Dade, Jacobs (Australia & New Zealand) Principal Consultant / Technical Director, Sustainable Development and ESG

Our team will explore:

  • Why valuing natural capital is vital for planning and operations in the water sector
  • Lessons learned from the UK experience, and how these translate into the Australian/New Zealand context
  • Approaches on how to integrate natural capital into decision-making

Tuesday 2 September 2025
