Description

The 2017 Deakin Oration (August 31, 2017)

Professor Tony Wong has made a call to action on water and sustainability when delivering the 2017 Deakin Oration at Parliament House. The Chief Executive Officer of the Cooperative Research Centre for Water Sensitive Cities told a diverse audience of water company executives, academics, public servants, students and members of the general public that a political climate of cooperation and collaboration is needed if we are to tackle contemporary challenges in water management for our cities.  “The case for transformation is compelling; the consequence of doing nothing, disturbing,” Professor Wong said.
