NSW State Conference 2022
Join us for the NSW State Conference in Port Macquarie.
The theme for this year, Shocks and Disruptions - Operating and Planning in Uncertainty, aligns with the Australian Water Association’s Strategy to Share, Connect and Inspire professionals across the water industry, including with its affiliates.
Conference Sub-Themes are:
- Operating and planning through shocks and disruptions
- Regional Water Strategies / Management / Water reform
- Water quality – community safety in our hands
- Water security
- Indigenous water engagement
- Global connections
- Innovation & collaboration
- Water reuse / circular economy
- Regional engagement & water solutions
Delegates will be provided with opportunities to:
- SHARE: information and knowledge that is relevant to regional NSW
- CONNECT: with members and water professionals from diverse industries
- INSPIRE: each other to make a positive change within the water industry; both urban and rural
The conference will continue to provide a strong technical focus and the forum for social interaction and networking that delegates have come to expect from the event. Papers and presentations will provide learnings, insights and showcase approaches to water management and infrastructure relevant to the region. The series of NSW Regional Conferences have been very successful over the years, with over 130 people attending recent regional conferences.
