The History of International RiverFoundation
The journey began with a vision of the City of Brisbane and the then Lord Mayor Jim Soorley to put best practice for restoration of rivers onto the global agenda.
The vision extended to a prestigious Prize to complement International Riversymposium, an internationally recognised cutting edge forum of river management.
The first Thiess Riverprize awarded in 1999 was international award valued at A$100,000. A national Prize was introduced two years later in 2001 and was valued at A$25,000. Intenational Riversymposium is part of Riverfestival, an annual celebration of Brisbane's people, culture and environment.
In 2003, Riverfestival initiated a separate foundation to ensure the continued funding of the Riverprizes and support of International Riversymposium – International Riverfoundation (IRF) was born.
Since 2003, Riverprize has been delivered in partnership between Riverfestival and IRF. IRF funds the prize money and Riverfestival manages the delivery of the Prize.
