Water Sensitive Cities Australia is continuing the mission of the Cooperative Research Centre for Water Sensitive Cities (CRCWSC).
Who we are
As the climate changes and cities grow, urban communities are calling for vision, action and collaboration to create a more secure and sustainable water future. Over 9 years (2012–2021), the CRCWSC built an international brand for water sensitive cities and a reputation as a trusted advisor to governments and cities.
It translated its interdisciplinary research into practical tools and guidelines, and used these to build the skills of the sector to create water sensitive cities.
Water sensitive solutions use all water sources, unleash the power of an informed and engaged community, and integrate green and grey infrastructure.
This research provided the blueprint and tools for water sensitive cities (WSC) practices. Water Sensitive Cities Australia represents the next phase of making WSC practice the norm. Working with world-renowned subject matter experts, and industry thought leaders, we work across Australia and internationally, providing a network for cities to learn from each other.

We are guided by an Advisory Board of water industry experts.
The Advisory Board provides leadership and advice on strategy to enhance mainstreaming of water sensitive cities, develop a community of WSC practitioners, and increase the public understanding of WSC principles and practices.
