Australasian Coasts & Ports 2025 Conference

18 – 21 August 2025, Adelaide Convention Centre, Adelaide, South Australia

Welcome

The Australasian Coasts & Ports Conference series is the pre-eminent forum in the Australasian region for professionals to meet and discuss multi-disciplinary issues related to coasts and ports. This Conference will continue to publicise the persisting importance of coastal engineering problems, incorporating numerous concurrent streams for technical presentations, half-day field trips and the opportunity to network with colleagues in a vibrant social program including a Welcome Reception, Conference Dinner and other optional activities.

In 1973, two years after the formation of the National Committee on Coastal and Ocean Engineering, the first Australian Conference on Coastal engineering was held in Sydney. The creation of the conference series reflected the important position that coastal and ocean engineering had achieved in the development and protection of some of Australia’s most valuable resources. The conference series is shared with the New Zealand Coastal Society and the Institution of Professional Engineers of New Zealand who hosted the first NZ conference in Christchurch in 1985.

A parallel series of Australasian Port and Harbour Conferences was started by PIANC Australia in 1986 (also in Sydney) and from 1995 the two-conference series have been held jointly under the title ‘Australasian Coasts and Ports’.

The Australasian Coasts & Ports Conference series takes place every two years, in major cities in Australia and New Zealand. The Conference series brings together engineers, scientists and planners; academics, practitioners and those in the construction industry and is the pre-eminent forum in Australasia for professionals to meet and discuss issues extending across all disciplines related to coasts and ports.

Who Should Attend?

Australasian Coasts & Ports 2025 is an event that will be of interest to any person with a professional interest in the coastal and maritime environments. The Conference will bring together engineers, planners, scientists and researchers to Adelaide, to focus on the technological, scientific, policy, planning and design issues related to our diverse and developing coasts.

It will integrate ideas and knowledge among engineers, port and maritime operators, researchers and scientists, local/central government, maritime manufacturers, planners and policy makers and media.
