Guest Speaker

Bec Taylor, Resilient East Coordinator 

Topic - Water and Climate Resilience

As our climate changes and temperatures rise, our communities, assets and environment are needing to become more resilient. Water, and keeping it in our landscape, can play a significant role in achieving this.

Come and learn more about this important topic from Bec and find out about the work of Resilient East and what is being done in Adelaide to build more resilient communities.
