Now in its 33rd year, our Water in the Bush Conference is the Territory’s premier annual water conference connecting water professionals, the community and industry from across Australia to share information and knowledge about the current and future state of water and inspire positive change.

Supporting this conference is the trade display, giving delegates the opportunity to see the latest products and services on the market and providing organisations the opportunity to build contacts and improve existing relationships. Following day one of Conference, we will celebrate the NT Water Awards at the Conference Dinner.
