Resilient infrastructure serves communities and supports economies. This is why we're proud that, together with Aurecon and Port of Brisbane Pty Ltd, we have been awarded the Resilient Australia Business Award (Queensland Division) from the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience. This recognises the Australian-first resilience assessment at Port of Brisbane using the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR)'s Principles for Resilient Infrastructure Scorecard. The assessment provides QIC and our portfolio company, Port of Brisbane, with a deeper understanding of the many dimensions of disaster risk: hazards, exposures, vulnerabilities, capacities. Managing this risk requires coordinated resilience planning. "Infrastructure resilience calls for collaboration right across the #infrastructure system, including governments, operators and owners. "In many cases, vulnerability is not within the company’s control; instead, this may sit in the access, utilities and broader infrastructure systems, which reinforces why collaboration and engagement is so critical" said Andrew Sellick, QIC Senior Principal – Sustainability, Infrastructure.
