Ecoforum SuRF ANZ Workshop: Sustainable Remediation in Practice

SuRF ANZ will be hosting a workshop on October 28, 2025 from 1:30pm to 3:00pm at Ecoforum in Brisbane, Australia. Gain an introduction to sustainable remediation, the SURE tool, and complementary assessment methods. Participants will learn how sustainability indicators guide decision-making and set the foundation for applying these concepts to a real-world redevelopment scenario.

Hands-On Case Study
Work in groups on a Brisbane legacy industrial site case study. Role-play as regulators, developers, and community representatives to evaluate three remediation options. Use the SURE tool to score environmental, social, and economic indicators, balancing trade-offs in a practical, engaging exercise.

Wrap-Up and Reflections
Conclude with group discussion, insights, and Q&A. Explore lessons learned, challenges in sustainable decision-making, and how tools like greenhouse gas calculators can complement remediation planning. Attendees will leave with practical skills, new perspectives, and confidence to apply sustainable remediation in practice.
