Through integrated urban water management, the reuse of iron salts leads to major economic, environmental and social gains. **Program Innovation Award (servicing under 250,000 end users)** *Smart Catchments: Saltwater Creek *– Cairns Regional Council This program, led by Cairns Regional Council, has delivered innovative new technology to monitor water quality data in real time. By sharing this data through a publicly accessible online platform, Cairns residents are being inspired and encouraged to support sustainable healthy water in the region and help protect the Great Barrier Reef. **Program Innovation Award (servicing over 250,000 end users)** *Autonomous Motorised Monitoring Instrument *– Seqwater The [Autonomous Motorised Monitoring Instrument known as SAMMI](https://ozwater.org/Watersource/technology/innovation/sammi-the-robot-sets-sail-to-safeguard-seqwaters-water-supply/) is a revolutionary robotic system to improve water quality monitoring on remote and hard to reach water storages. SAMMI can operate day or night, rain or shine, and fulfil all the sampling and monitoring requirements previously undertaken by human crews on the storages. **Infrastructure Project Innovation Award (servicing under 250,000 end users)** *Townsville CBD Utilities Upgrade *– BMD Constructions, Townsville City Council and GHD BMD Constructions, together with Townsville City Council and GHD, have delivered [one of Townsville’s largest utility upgrades](https://ozwater.org/Watersource/business/assets-and-operations/townsvilles-haughton-pipeline-gets-federal-funding/) installing approximately 20 kilometres of water and sewerage pipework which replaces mains up to 60 years old. The project improves the capacity, efficiency and maintenance of services ensuring the sustainability of the city into the future. **Infrastructure Project Innovation Award (servicing over 250,000 end users)** *Going Green at Kenilworth *– Unitywater Unitywater effectively [upgraded its Kenilworth Sewage Treatment Plant](https://ozwater.org/Watersource/business/assets-and-operations/queensland-sewage-plant-switches-on-solar/) using existing ideas in new ways. Its innovative design of low-tech floating treatment wetlands that mimic natural wetlands, combined with a solar power array, provides a low-tech, low-cost, low-impact solution that avoided the usual concrete-and-steel capital investment. **Regional Service Award** Arron Hieatt In his role at the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ), Arron Hieatt represented the interests of local governments regarding their provision of water and sewerage services to over 350 communities in Queensland. In addition to speaking with elected members of local government, he worked with managers, operators, and other staff to understand the issues affecting the industry. Hieatt was [instrumental in the success of the Queensland Water Regional Alliance Program](https://ozwater.org/Watersource/community/engagement/appreciating-the-somewheres-and-someones-of-regional-australia/) and a strong advocate for safe water supply to all Australians. He has been a trusted advisor to the Queensland Branch for many years and was an active and supportive sub-committee member. **Distinguished Service Award** Matt Dawson Matt Dawson has over 20 years of experience in the water sector and is recognised as an outstanding leader in the industry through his work at TRILITY. Dawson served as a member of the Queensland Branch from 2010 to 2019, with two of these years served as state president. During his time on the AWA committee, Dawson revolutionised the way events are done in Queensland. He saw the conferences as not just events, but a way to unite our ever-changing industry. Dawson was instrumental in the support of the [North Queensland conference](http://bit.ly/NQWater19), which has now become a highlight on the calendar. Dawson is a true advocate of the industry, never missing an opportunity to raise community awareness of the issues facing our industry and he is an inspiring role model for young professionals. **Student Water Prize** *Unravelling Roles of Emerging Environmental Contaminants in Promoting the Spread of Antibiotic Resistance *– Ji Lu, The University of Queensland Lu is a final year PhD student whose project provides evidence for the risk assessment on the impact of non-antibiotic antimicrobial. His project suggests the need for the water industry to establish non-antibiotic antimicrobial control strategies. Lu’s project may also enlighten future research on the potential impact of broad-ranged non-antibiotic chemicals on the spread of antibiotic resistance. **Young Water Professional of the Year Award** Aidan Symons, Senior Engineer, Water Infrastructure, SMEC Aidan Symons is a natural leader who is respected and revered by his colleagues and friends. His professional achievements in design management, multidisciplinary design coordination and remote teaming are exemplary. Symons’ personal contribution to the water industry greatly exceeds that of most professionals his age. He is actively involved in the AWA as a long-time member and [Young Water Professions (YWP) sub-committee member](http://bit.ly/2zZZ8ng) and as Chair of the YWP National Taskforce. Symons’ efforts in developing mentoring programs demonstrate his enthusiasm to engage and empower the next generation of industry professionals and we are thrilled to announce Symons as [Queensland’s 2019 Young Water Professional of the Year.](https://ozwater.org/Watersource/business/workplace/queenslands-young-water-professional-of-the-year-wants-to-make-a-difference/) **Water Professional of the Year Award** Daryl Ross, Acting Director, Road and Water Infrastructure, Logan City Council Daryl Ross is one of the quiet achievers of the Queensland water industry; a calm, strategic, compassionate voice across his 43 years as a water engineer and leader. Among his many achievements, he helped create the first non-statutory regional plan for South East Queensland, led the strategic response to the Millennium Drought, and transformed two water businesses. Ross' willingness to share learnings with the broader industry is having an immediate and lasting impact on our sector.
