Monthly Bulletin

Work plan ready and kicked off. 

​​​​The recently established IS Water Advisory Group (ISWAG) has finalised its work plan, which focuses on exploring the benefits of IS ratings for water infrastructure - including new and existing assets.  

ISWAG will look at the ROI to the sector and how to drive large-scale sustainability performance across all programs.

ISWAG will review water projects currently undergoing an IS rating, and national and international best practices and benchmarks, thus gaining insights that will be valuable within the member organisations and the sector more broadly.

ISWAG will make recommendations to the sector and the ISC by mid-2023.

IS Water Advisory Group is chaired by Rod Naylor, Global Water Lead at GHD, and its members are SA Water, Sydney Water (NSW), Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (VIC), Water Corporation (WA), Coliban Water (VIC), Sunwater (QLD), Parkes Shire Council (NSW), Wellington Water (NZ), Water Services Association of Australia, Aecom, Aurecon, KPMG, Mott MacDonald, and the ISC.

"The program and interaction with my mentor stimulated a lot of self-reflection, and discussions with friends and colleagues on how to improve leadership skills. Since joining the program, I am more focused on taking a strategic approach towards my career."

"Appreciated the information material and structure provided by the programme. I also like the regular updates and prompts (e.g. re-evaluating mentees' goals etc.)"

"I think I have been matched really well with my mentor, she has a great understanding of my current role and experience and is able to provide great advice with that knowledge."

IS for Suppliers 

Close the gap between suppliers, procurement divisions and the design/build team.

When projects and suppliers work together they are able to successfully drive innovation and develop sustainable solutions that support the decarbonisation of infrastructure.
Using real-world examples and case studies, this two-day day course explores successful techniques that enable evidence-based selection of materials and service providers for projects undergoing an IS rating. From communicating and evidencing value to using rating terminology and removing barriers during planning and procurement, this training will support users of sustainable materials and services in the selection process of both materials and providers in the infrastructure industry.
