WA Water Breakfast 2026

Written by Kyllie Whitehead | Oct 26, 2026, 9:00:58 PM

Join us for the 2027 West Australian Water Breakfast as our panel members discuss Water, the invisible architecture of economic development – infrastructure investment for the next 5, 10 and 25 years!

Water underpins every home, industry and community, yet its role in economic development often remains unseen. As competition for water intensifies globally, Western Australia faces a defining challenge: ensuring water availability enables future growth.

The discussion will examine how investment in water security, asset renewal, desalination, recycling and resilient infrastructure can support housing, regional development, established industries and emerging economic opportunities. Against a backdrop of declining rainfall, growing demand and rising delivery costs, panellists will consider investment priorities, affordability and the workforce and supply chain capacity required to deliver.

Bringing together government, industry and the water sector, this timely conversation will explore how coordinated planning and investment today can secure Western Australia’s liveability, competitiveness and prosperity for generations to come.

Register today to be part of this vital conversation on economic development and future infrastructure investment!

Pat Donovan, Water Corporation

Facilitated by : Fabiana Tessele, AWA WA Branch President
