The Carbon Farming Initative (CFI) is an Australian Government program that was introduced in late 2011 and unlike other parts of the Clean Energy Futures package, appears to be supported by the Federal Opposition parties.

This presentation was to be held in two parts.

Part 1 - Backflow Prevention

Steve Posselt, Managing Director Australian Water Engineers, as a supplier of backflow prevention devices will describe available devices with comments on suitability for the Brisbane River.

This year's event is being hosted by the Queensland University of Technology Gardens Point campus. The purpose of the night is to allow Environmental Engineering and Science undergraduate students from Queensland universities to feature their thesis and project work to an audience of industry professionals and fellow students.

The event also allows a demonstration of the directions in current environmental research and to show the diversity and quality of content in thesis studies from all over Queensland.

On 29 February, 2012, the Australian Green Infrastructure Council (AGIC) launched the Infrastructure Sustainability (IS) rating scheme to deliver social, economic and environmental improvements across the design, construction and operation of Australia’s infrastructure.
