Sustainable Water Management

The Board funded this project to demonstrate how VET providers can collaborate with Co-operative Research Centres (CRCs) to increase innovation in firms/networks and to commercialise and defuse innovations that increase the demand for and use of skills.

This project was an additional demonstration project associated with the BVET/ANTA Skill Ecosystem national project. TAFE NSW - Riverina Insititute lead this project to improve sustainable water management practice in the Albury-Wodonga region. The project promoted increased use of constructed wetland technology in residential, commercial and industrial developments. Constructed wetlands are a biological alternative to chemical or engineered treatment of waste water. The project brought together land developers, regulators, end-users and innovators to generate awareness, knowledge and skills in sustainable water management practice in the region, where increasing constraints on water availability were being experienced.

In addition to developing project-specific outcomes relating to constructed wetlands and sustainable water management practice, this project also served to test and develop the role of vocational education and training (VET) providers as ‘innovation agents’ engaged in the creation, diffusion and commercialisation of new knowledge and skills.
