Western Sydney U is to lead a collaborative research centre on bushfires and natural hazards
The new organisation is funded by the NSW government and takes over from the Uni Wollongong led Bushfire Management Research Hub (WSU was a participant).
Sound familiar? It isn’t.
The new operation is separate to the federal Natural Hazards Research Australia, which is the successor to the Bushfire CRC (2003-2014)and the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC (2013-2021), (CMM, August 1 2022).
Ah, federalism, aint it grand!
