In 2015 the model will change with fewer formal regional events and more informal events. This is not to say that we won’t revert to a 2014-style model in future, but we believe given the difficulty in being able to get presentations this year, members need a break. It also allows us to attend more other regional events including IPWEAQ branch conferences.
Confirmed Conference dates at this stage include:
CQ regional conference and taste test – 16 April 2015
FNQ regional conference and taste test – 8 May 2015
and we would plan on attending IPWEAQ events in Kingaroy on 14 May and Biloela on 11 March. Water Connections Week will be 4-8 May, visiting councils around Cairns.
We again welcome both Dial Before You Dig as Water Connections Tour major sponsor and Orica as Taste Test major sponsor.
Expressions of interest are invited from other qldwater members to host a simple information exchange opportunity and potentially regional taste test in 2015. We would aim to have a number of other planned but informal visits where we can invite surrounding councils, provide and update and get feedback on our work programs. It may be possible to align this with a training activity through the Water Skills Partnership or SWIM. If you are interested in exploring, please contact Dave Cameron.
