The Steve Hrudey workshop last Friday was a resounding success for our delegates despite the weather bringing an early halt to proceedings.  Our participant feedback was very positive with many experienced water professionals taking significant learnings away from the case studies.  We will endeavour to write a summary for our next newsletter.

We were able to cover costs for the event and have offered credits against other qldwater activities for those members from Central Queensland who were unable to attend.  We have been in touch with key contacts from members impacted by Cyclone Marcia – while the clean up is significant the interruptions to water services in general have been limited.

Thanks again to the Department of Health for its generous support towards the workshop, and David Sheehan from Coliban Water for giving qldwater the opportunity to host such an esteemed guest speaker.

Our next event coming up is the CQ conference and taste test in Rockhampton on 16 April.  We would like to thank our two new silver conference sponsors, Trility and Royce Water Technologies for their support.  Sponsorships are still available for Rockhampton and our other regional events.  Please contact Heather Gold hgold@qldwater.com.au for a sponsorship pack.

We can also confirm that our planned SEQ mini-conference and taste test will proceed, hosted by Gold Coast City Council.  The new date is Thursday 20 August.

Finally, the 2015 Urban Water Innovation Forum is also confirmed for November.  Unitywater have offered a tour of some of their innovative energy optimisation projects in the afternoon of Wednesday 4th, and the forum itself will take place on Thursday 5th, likely at Maroochydore.  More details to come soon.
