SUMMARY:Webinar: Green Infrastructure Management Manual
DESCRIPTION:Green infrastructure has not traditionally been included in asset and financial management plans\, an omission that has often led to its neglect and degradation\, and subsequent waste of the initial investment. The development of the manual is a significant step in having the value of nature in our cities understood\, and will enable asset owners to plan\, protect\, and invest in our natural assets. \nThe Green Infrastructure Management Manual offers practical guidance on 24 types of green infrastructure\, including lifecycle management\, relative risks\, costs\, and value. Packed with case studies\, tools\, and a simple framework for integrating green assets into financial and asset planning\, it helps councils and asset stewards make informed decisions that enhance urban liveability\, biodiversity\, and climate resilience. \nThe GIMM empowers councils\, engineers\, asset managers\, and planners to integrate nature-based infrastructure – including street trees\, parks\, green roofs\, wetlands\, and coastal habitats – into asset and financial management plans. \nTo Register for the webinar please follow the link below: \nMicrosoft Virtual Events Powered by Teams \nPresenters:  \n \nMartyn Glover – Director Infrastructure\, City of Gosnells \nBio: Martyn Glover is the Director of Infrastructure at the City of Gosnells and brings over 40 years of experience in public works engineering.
