Climate change is a prominent and important subject globally. The headline items associated with climate change are sea level rise and warmer temperatures. The reality of climate change is much bigger, complex and more challenging. Direct impacts include:
Ocean temperature rise
Sea level rise and associated tidal flooding and erosion risks
More frequent extreme weather events (floods, droughts, cyclones, bushfires)
More intense weather events
Climate change is a trend, not a one-off event nor part of a cycle. The impacts of the trend will be felt by the whole community. Foreseeable events represent a growing risk to the built environment and our community’s social and economic fabric. To help mitigate this risk, we provide services which enhance resilience by addressing the following:
Climate change risk
Infrastructure and asset planning
Flooding
Stormwater drainage
Water quality
Coastal protection and rehabilitation
Slope stability
Waste and contaminated land
Emergency and safety infrastructure

We work with our clients to develop climate change adaptation strategies and deliver resilient solutions for a changing climate.
