The Annual  Treatment Plant Tour of 7 small and remote councils was successfully undertaken in June 2008.  qldwater, together with representatives from Department of Local Government, Sport and Recreation and Natural Resources and Water, was able to update Councillors and Council Officers on recent developments that will impact them in the fast-changing water industry. As with previous years there was a Water and Sewerage Treatment expert on hand  who inspected local plants and provided  on issues that needed addressing. 

This tour gave participating councils the  opportunity to gain free independent advice on infrastructure and to get a straight forward briefing on new requirements, legislation and policy direction.  The Councils which were visited this year were: Flinders Shire Council, Richmond Shire Council, McKinlay Shire Council, Burke Shire Council, Carpentaria Shire Council, Torres Shire Council and Torres Strait Island Regional Council.
