Join us for the 2026 Queensland Industry Breakfast

Join us for a thought provoking breakfast for the water industry, where our panel of experts will delve into the topic of  Fix the Mix: People, Pipes, and Possibilities. As Australia’s water sector evolves, the challenge isn’t just about capital or infrastructure it’s about the right mix of people, resources, and solutions. From tackling skills shortages and an ageing workforce, to rethinking ageing assets and balancing diverse water sources, the sector is under pressure to adapt.

This year’s networking breakfast will explore how we can “fix the mix” aligning workforce development, infrastructure renewal, and economic sustainability to deliver outcomes that communities trust and the economy benefits from.

Don't miss this opportunity to engage with leaders shaping the future of water. 

Registrations are available for the Brisbane event along with Regional Hub events in Cairns, Mackay, Mount Isa, Townsville, Rockhampton and Gympie.  Virtual registration to view the livestream of the panel discussion. 

Panelists soon to be announced.
