Bolder goals for Stormwater

In May, Stormwater Queensland held its ‘Bolder Goals for Stormwater’ event, an upgrade from the ‘Bold Goals for Stormwater’ event held the year before. This was an opportunity for professionals from a range of sectors to socialise, network and share knowledge around the huge challenges that we face in this era of climate change, urbanisation and pollution.

The event was a great success with excellent food and inspiring speakers. Approximately 80 stormwater professionals attended.

The event Gold Sponsor was Everhard Industries, an Australian family-owned manufacturer of drainage, wastewater and environmental solutions for residential and commercial applications.

Next year we will wait to see whether it will be ‘Boldest Goals’ or ‘Even Bolder Goals’ for Stormwater!

Advocacy and engagement

Behind the lights, cameras, glitz and glam of the Stormwater Queensland events brought to you by our wonderful events team, the advocacy and engagement (A&E) team are quietly advancing the organisation’s mission statement. “Stormwater Queensland has a mission statement?”, I hear you ask. We surely do:

Engaging the community, industry and government to promote and advocate for Queensland’s evolving stormwater challenges.

The A&E team works towards this goal by engaging with industry and government partners, at all levels. Month on month, we provide industry feedback on the release of

National conference: SET2024

major guidelines and other industry publications. We also seek out industry partners to improve the stormwater management framework, from on-ground practice through to regulation, enforcement, adaptive management and maintenance.

We’d love to hear from our members about what matters to you, and what you feel you need from Stormwater Queensland. Feel free to get in touch with any of our committee members or contact our long-standing secretary David Simpson at Secretary@ stormwaterqueensland.asn.au
