Join us for a insightful morning of networking, and the chance to hear from influential figures in the NSW Water industry. Indulge in a light breakfast while engaging with key voices in the field.
Quality and Quantity - A Regional Story
NSW, and particularly regional NSW, were severely impacted during the last short but intense 2018-2019 drought. What did we learn from this, and are we sufficiently prepared for the next drought? With a rapidly changing climate, combined with a potential El-Nino climate cycle, regional towns and cities shall be challenged once more with water security and quality. How will the sector ensure safe water if there is none? Do we prioritize Quantity or Quality, or both?

The Hon. Rose Jackson, Member of the Legislative Council
Minister for Water, Minister for Housing, Minister for Homelessness, Minister for Mental Health, Minister for Youth, and Minister for the North Coast,
