North Queensland Regional Conference 2018

North Queensland Regional Conference 2018
Registrations for the North Queensland Regional Conference happening in Cairns (QLD) will close on Friday 20 July!



A Region of Extremes – Resilience and Innovation in the Face of Change 

Thursday 26th– Friday 27th July 2018
Hilton Cairns

The Committee of the Queensland Branch of AWA would like to invite you to this exciting conference which will focus on the “A Region of Extremes – Resilience and Innovation in the Face of Change”. The Conference will showcase a broad range of presentations relating to the unique environment of the regions including but not exclusively the reef. The region is subject to cycles of boom and bust in terms of the economy, development and climate. This, together with the region’s remoteness and diversity creates a unique background for managing the water cycle and the associated assets in northern Australia. We also hope to have input from Federal and State regulators to provide insight into the trends in environmental protection.  

The series of the Australian Water Assocation’s North Queensland Regional Conferences have been very successful and has enjoyed strong growth over the years, with over 120 people attending recent regional conferences.
