To celebrate the launch of Sequana’s strengthened Environment & Planning offering, you are invited to the exciting second instalment of the Sequana Stream Webinar Series, ‘Net Zero: Striking the Right Balance’, which will focus on raising awareness of the complex interrelations between biodiversity management conservation within water and renewable energy projects.
The path to Net Zero demands urgent action, but how do we balance environmental and water protection, planning constraints, and the infrastructure needed to power a renewable future?
Join us for a dynamic conversation exploring the complex regulatory landscape shaping Australia’s energy transition. Our expert panel will discuss the challenges of navigating multi-layered Commonwealth and State regulations, balancing community concerns with the need for large-scale renewable projects, and overcoming key barriers like grid access, land use, and supply chain constraints.
We’ll unpack the trade-offs between time, cost, and generation capacity with real-world case studies, such as the Victorian Government’s decision on the Willatook Wind Farm and Queensland’s evolving approach to wind farm assessments. Whether you’re a developer, policymaker, or industry stakeholder, this is a must-attend discussion on accelerating infrastructure development without compromising environmental integrity.

Like other countries, Australia is facing the ongoing consequences of climate change. To tackle global warming and provide a secure future for its people and natural heritage, the country’s approach is to make renewable energy a key central role in achieving its 2045 net-zero emissions goal.
The new environment and planning offering strengthens Sequana’s commitment to fostering sustainable solutions in the water, energy, and environmental sectors. It enhances the sustainability of its water sector practices while broadening and advancing specialised environmental and planning services within the energy and strategic advisory fields.
With a strong focus on emerging government frameworks and policies, our experts, Deb Neumann, Director—Strategic Environment and Planning; Madeleine Page, Regional Environment and Planning Lead, North West, and Owen Boushel, Stakeholder Engagement Manager at Tilt Renewables, will examine the Australian government’s regulatory approach in depth and explain how it aligns with global best practices.
Moderated by Sequana Associate Director—Water Strategy & Growth Rhys Anderson, our speakers will expand on regulatory challenges, the right balance between environment and infrastructure, and key community-led engagement strategies to achieve Net Zero.
We are excited to be part of the conversation and look forward to seeing you online!
