Day 1: 

  • Develop a common understanding of legacy risk in the New Zealand dams and stopbanks context;

  • Explore how technical practice, organisations, regulatory settings and hazard understanding have evolved over time

  • Examine risk identification and information management tools and methods

Day 2:

  • Approaches to risk analysis and evaluation, including dealing with legacy challenges such as ageing assets and information gaps

  • Making risk-informed decisions over long asset lifecycles and across complex portfolios, including prioritisation, review and communication
