2012 Australian Coastal Councils Conference
The National Sea Change Taskforce invites you to attend the 2012 Australian Coastal Councils Conference to be held in Hobart from 5 to 7 March 2012.
The annual Australian Coastal Councils Conference is an important national event that brings together representatives of local government, researchers, policy makers and others with a stake in the future of the Australian coast and its communities. Major topics to be addressed include:
•How to stimulate economic activity and innovation in regional areas
•Australia’s mobile populations and their impact on coastal regions
•The progress of the Federal Government’s implementation of its coastal agenda
•The economic value of coastal tourism and recreation.
Other highlights of the event will include:
•Launch of the CSIRO Coastal Research Web Portal which is currently being developed
•Release of the research report Planning for Climate Change Adaptation: State of Practice by a study team at The University of Sydney
•Preliminary findings of a research report by Professor Graeme Hugo from The University of Adelaide on defining and anticipating population change in coastal areas.
Following the success of the inaugural Australian Coastal Research Forum in March 2011, the 2012 Forum is to be held on Monday 5 March and will again be an important prelude to the conference. We invite you to participate in this important event for coastal Australia and look forward to seeing you in Hobart.
Delegates will have the opportunity to view local highlights such as the coastal shorelines and other points of interest. The Conference is an important opportunity for coastal councils to come together and act collectively to address the challenges they are facing. Don’t miss out.
