TRG update
Date: 01-Jun-2017
Our Technical Reference Group met on Friday 26 May with a few notable resolutions:
- Welcome to Steven Porter from Cairns Regional Council who steps in as the new TRG Chair, with Trevor Dean from Fraser Coast Regional Council elected Deputy Chair unopposed. Visit our website for more information on the Technical Reference Group. This draws to a conclusion the term of Dick Went from City of Gold Coast. Dick also steps down as Chair of the Queensland Water Skills Partnership. We wish him the best as he transitions to retirement – Dick has been a tremendous advocate for qldwater and his members, and extremely generous with his time.
- We have released a couple of publications recently, (see eFlash #320) with TRG approving final feedback for a new guideline developed with the NSW Water Directorate on managing telecommunications installations on reservoirs. The document will hopefully be published before the end of the financial year, along with two fact sheets targeted at sewerage service providers and planners dealing with buffers and encroachment on sewerage infrastructure.
- The Innovation Forum has been re-badged to now be the qldwater Annual Forum with the 2017 theme being “No Pain, No Gain.” The thinking behind this is that the purpose of the forum has evolved over time and the current focus is on creating an environment with regulators and other decision makers which enables innovation, encouraging members to trial new ideas and deliver the most efficient and cost-effective outcomes for customers.
We hope to have a broad program with session themes up on the web site in the next couple of weeks – for now – block 6 and 7 September out in your diaries.
