National Water Reform 2026 Forums

AWA is hosting two member forums to gather feedback and insights for its response to the National Water Reform 2026. Join the discussion to help shape AWA's submission to the Productivity Commission and ensure the perspectives of the water sector are represented in this important national review. 

The Productivity Commission is releasing two interim updates. This interim update discusses changes to policy and regulatory settings that could improve the security, resilience and sustainability of water services in Australia. 

• The first interim  update examines the delivery of safe, secure and sustainable water resources.
• The second interim  update  reviews progress against the 2004 National Water Initiative (NWI).

AWA will be preparing responses to both interim updates, building on the recommendations outlined in our initial submission. 

Why attend?

These interactive online forums sessions provide an opportunity to:

• Share your perspectives on the Productivity Commission's interim findings.
• Discuss emerging challenges and opportunities for water reform.
• Contribute evidence, examples and recommendations.
• Help shape AWA's final response to the inquiry.

Your input will ensure the water sector's expertise and experience are reflected in this important national discussion. Registration is free and all discussion is under Chatham House Rule.
