SUMMARY:COPEP & PIANC NSW:  Engineering with nature: creating resilient coastal systems 31 Aug 2026
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\n\nCOPEP & PIANC NSW CHAPTER EVENT\nEngineering with nature: creating resilient coastal systems\n\n\n\n\nJoin internationally recognised engineer and researcher Dr Todd Bridges for an insightful presentation on how nature-based solutions are reshaping coastal and flood resilience. As climate pressures intensify and infrastructure systems face growing uncertainty\, engineers must deliver solutions that are technically robust\, environmentally sustainable\, and socially beneficial.\n\nThis session will explore how Engineering With Nature® principles can be applied to coastal and flood risk management to improve resilience\, enhance ecosystem outcomes\, and support long-term infrastructure performance.\n\nAs coastal development expands\, questions arise about whether traditional 20th-century engineering approaches remain appropriate. Land reclamation and ‘hard’ engineering have enabled communities\, industry\, and governments to exert control over land and water\, but often at the cost of systems now misaligned with changing conditions.\n\nBuilding resilience at scale will require unprecedented cross-sector collaboration over coming decades—rethinking land use\, designing multi-functional infrastructure\, and integrating natural and human systems to create more adaptive\, sustainable coastal landscapes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n📅 Date: Monday 31 August\n⏰ Time: 5pm to 8pm\n📍 Location: Engineers Australia\, 44 Market Street \, Sydney\n🪙 Price: EA & PIANC Members: $15\, non-members: $35\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to this upcoming event.\n\nFull events details and booking information below.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEVENT DETAILS & TICKETS
