Susan Worley, Water Planning Advisor and Mentor,
Former Director Department of Water and Environmental Regulation 

Since 1995 Susan has been involved in water resources management in WA with leadership roles in planning, regional delivery and community education including planning for water allocation, water source protection, urban water and non-potable water supply. While that work was shaped by the contemporary context, particularly climate change, it was also greatly informed by Susan’s accumulated experiences as manager of water allocation planning and regional manager north west, and as an educator with DWER (and its predecessors). Through all Susan’s roles she has had the good fortune to work with and learn from many people.

Susan retired from the public sector in 2021 and continues to contribute to the water sector through advisory, mentoring, consulting and support roles including; Water Sensitive Cities Australia advisory board, Watertrust Australia influence advisory group, WA’s Water Sensitive Transition Network, friend of the Peter Cullen Trust, Water Corporation Steering Committee member and AWA member.
