Queensland Conference 2026

The 2026 Queensland State Conference in Townsville will explore the theme of: One Water, One Future: Uniting Queensland’s Water Story.

Queensland’s water journey is as diverse as its landscapes—from the dry western plains to the tropical north and bustling southeast. As the sector faces rapid change, new technologies, shifting climate realities, and evolving community expectations, collaboration has never been more crucial.

The Australian Water Association’s combined North Queensland and Queensland Conference invites utilities, government, Traditional Owners, industry, research, and emerging leaders to come together to build a shared vision for the state’s water future.

Under the theme “One Water, One Future: Uniting Queensland’s Water Story,” the conference will explore how we harness innovation, deepen partnerships, strengthen resilience, and ensure equitable, secure and sustainable water outcomes for every community across the state.

Join us as we connect the people, projects, and ideas shaping tomorrow’s Queensland.
