As a nation, Australia must overcome a number of challenges if we are to be prosperous in terms of having a sustainable social, economic and physical environment, equitably shared by all Australians.
These challenges are complex at a global and local level, and range from climate change, economic issues, health, and population growth and the consequent equitable and sustainable access to resources.
Population growth has come to the fore as an issue of public debate in Australia.
It is Engineers Australia's view that careful planning around Australia's future population is essential to ensure the health, wealth and well being of all Australians.

The Asian Civil Engineering Coordinating Council (ACECC) was founded in 1999 to coordinate the activities of ACECC member societies through the efforts of various technical committees. The Jakarta Protocol, signed in August 2013, commits the members of the signatory institutions to a leadership role in regards to the development and maintenance of sustainable infrastructure.
The Civil Engineering Conference in the Asian Region (CECAR), organised by ACECC, is becoming the most important conference to discuss civil engineering technology needs, issues, and practices to meet the challenges of the 21st Century in the Asian region.
