Event Details: Invitation-only breakfast session
Date: Wednesday 10th June 2026

Venue: The Assembly, Angel Place, 123 Pitt St, Sydney NSW

Overview

At a time of growing energy insecurity, rising costs and increasing pressure on existing systems, the opportunity is clear, but the pathway is not straightforward.

We'd like to invite you to a private breakfast session with leaders from industry and government to discuss how waste, wastewater, energy, transport, and policy systems can be better connected to unlock greater value.

Sphere Infrastructure & Frontier Economics invite leaders to come together for a focused, solutions-oriented discussion on what is preventing progress, what it will take to move forward, and how a more connected approach can help us move beyond silos.

• Are we taking too narrow a view of the role resource recovery infrastructure can play in Australia’s future?

• Are current policy, planning, economic and financing settings making it harder than necessary to unlock investment and scale practical cross-sector solutions?

• Is a lack of coordination across waste, wastewater, energy, transport and government systems limiting progress?

• Where are the most credible and achievable opportunities to deliver integrated outcomes across sectors?
