Demonstration Sites
The Thriving Coasts CRC will establish coastal demonstration sites across Australia to act as focal points for our research and development in contested and congested coastal spaces. These sites will enable concentrated effort to be applied to unique challenges, bringing together industry, government and community interests to devise, apply and test integrated and innovative solutions. Applying a rigorous monitoring and evaluation framework, these demonstration sites will enable lessons to be learned and applied more widely across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
If you would like to be a part of a demonstration site, we would love to hear from you.
