WA’s WATER FUTURE (Water Recycling)

 Western Australia is one of the hottest and driest places on earth.  Securing a sustainable water source is one of the most urgent challenges facing our state.  A number of potential solutions to WA’s water situation have been offered including one of the more divisive, already being adopted in other states, to recycle our wastewater.

Is wastewater recycling the solution to our State’s future water needs?  What targets should we, the Western Australian community, be looking to reach in the next 20 years in relation to using treated wastewater?  How do we reach these targets?

The Conservation Council of Western Australia with the support of the Water Corporation will bring together community, government, industry and scientists to discuss Western Australia’s future water needs and address the debate surrounding one proposed solution to our water crisis to recycle wastewater. 

 Speakers will consider the complexities, strengths and weaknesses associated with wastewater recycling with all participants given an opportunity to engage with critical ideas and seek solutions to influence the direction of sustainable outcomes for water, for both the environment and for human use, in the future.

 This is a unique and crucial opportunity for the Western Australian community to contribute to a sustainable water future for WA.

Speakers include:

Hon. John Kobelke, Minister for Water Resources
Steven McKiernan, Water Policy Officer, Conservation Council of WA
Leon English, Department of Water
Di Thorley, Mayor Toowoomba City Council
Dr Jim Dodds, Department of Health
Dr Simon Toze, CSIRO / Blair Nancarrow, CSIRO
Nick Turner, Water Corporation
Chris Tallentire, Director, Conservation Council of WA

 Plus a facilitated community engagement session on where we, the Western Australian community, would like to see wastewater recycling by the year 2029.

 This is an event not to be missed!

When: Tuesday 18th March 2008, 9.00am – 5.00pm (registrations from 8.30am)
Where: The University Club of Western Australia
