As National President of the Australian Water Association, I’d like to formally welcome you to Ozwater’21. It has been a long, hard road to get to Adelaide and I need to express my thanks to everyone who has contributed to getting us to the starting blocks! The last time Ozwater was held in Adelaide was in 2015 – and what a different world it was then. Our challenge in 2021 to “Reimagine our Water Future” resonates at this time of huge change and shifting paradigms. I can think of no better event than Ozwater to set the scene for intelligent, robust, and stimulating conversations around how we see the future. The program will challenge our thinking and dare us to look at our responsibilities in delivering sustainable water solutions in our ever-changing landscape. There are huge opportunities for all delegates to embrace new ideas, reconnect with colleagues and establish new networks. Ozwater is the Association’s premier event, and has evolved over many years to meet the needs of the industry and lead the way in sharing, connecting and inspiring. I am very proud to be President of this great Association at a time when we have been challenged to step up and demonstrate just who we are. Carmel Krogh OAM Ozwater’21 is unique in its development and formation arising from the effects of COVID. As an organisation, we have sought to provide a platform that allows President, all participants a valuable experience to help shape our future. I am confident Australian Water Association that Ozwater’21 will deliver this. I look forward to meeting and engaging with as many of you as possible over the conference and I encourage you all to maximise the opportunity to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Ozwater.

On behalf of the entire AWA team, a very warm welcome to Ozwater’21. There is much to celebrate as we come together in one place to ‘Reimagine our Water Future’. Never has there been a time that we have looked more forward to meeting each other, connecting and sharing our knowledge and experiences. We have had a fantastic response, with the water sector turning out in large numbers to participate in what will be our largest Ozwater in Adelaide ever! This is quite an amazing achievement given international travel restrictions have prohibited our international colleagues and partners from attending in person. Thank you for being part of this extraordinary milestone event and making Ozwater’21 great. The Ozwater’21 Committee and AWA team have done a marvellous job on the program and the finer details that will make Ozwater’21 a memorable one. The streams and speakers are diverse and wide ranging covering the most relevant, thought provoking and innovative topics from across the country with some of our international partners streaming in. We also have a curated digital program for those who cannot attend in person, or for Ozwater’21 delegates to ‘add on’ should you wish to see a presentation that you missed or would like to relive your Ozwater’21 experience. As we strive to deliver amazing experiences for our members, partners and colleagues across the country, I hope that you will take as much away as Corinne Cheeseman possible over the next three days from the conference streams, the exhibition Chief Executive, and all that the social program has to offer. We will also celebrate the Australian Water Association achievements of our sector in the AWA National Water Awards presented at the Gala Dinner. There is much to celebrate and recognise and I really do hope that you enjoy Ozwater’21 as much as I will.

How do we Reimagine our Water Future in a world grappling with climate change and gripped by pandemic? Never has the future appeared so uncertain, and for those of us charged with the responsibility for water, our challenges are immense. The World Bank predicts that 80% of future climate change adaptation responses will be in water related areas, particularly related to reduced water availability and extreme weather events. The challenge is here and now and the future is in our hands. Business as usual is not our business. In a world filled with so much uncertainty, we must reach out and embrace innovation and change. We must challenge our preconceived paradigms and embrace disruption as opportunity. Our Ozwater’21 program will challenge your thinking, test your boundaries, Hon Karlene Maywald and ask you to ask the tough questions. DUniv, GAICD, FTSE This is the “must attend” event for all of us in the water sector. We are very excited to be able to host this event in Adelaide and we are very Managing Director, much looking forward to welcoming you all back to our conference in person. Maywald Consultants Pty Ltd The past 12 months have been particularly difficult. We have learnt a lot, South Australian Water Ambassador and it is incredible that we can be in the position to bring you all back together, to share experiences. I look forward to seeing you in Adelaide.

I warmly welcome you all to South Australia and the beautiful city of Adelaide for Ozwater’21. The largest water industry event in the southern hemisphere, Ozwater provides an unrivalled opportunity to connect, share insights and ideas across our industry, and hear about the big issues we’re facing today. In a time of extraordinary change and challenge, our sector is demonstrating and role modelling resilience. We must continue leading by innovating, partnering and leveraging our collective strengths. This is how we will deliver the sustainable services and operational improvements that our customers and communities deserve and value now and into the future. The water industry plays a key role in shaping healthy, thriving communities and at Ozwater’21, we will Reimagine our Water Future, by sharing our bold ideas, challenges and successes. Prospering in the driest state on the driest continent, the South Australian water sector has for many years been tackling challenges now emerging elsewhere and we’re looking forward to sharing our stories and solutions, and further plans for a sustainable water future. The program will feature more than 130 technical presentations and 80 pitch presentations across the three days, as well as interactive workshops and panel sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. David Ryan Expect to be inspired and leave the conference with new knowledge and a Chief Executive, SA Water rekindled motivation. Contribute and learn from each other’s deep experience, skills and expertise, plus hear from engaging keynote speakers, from inside and outside the water sector, each morning. I’m really looking forward to being part of this year’s Ozwater, and I encourage you all to make the most of it too.

The Many Faces of Resilience The past decade has seen the urban water industry face extreme climatic events in droughts, floods and bushfires. At the same time, record low interest rates and the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted on the economy both positively and negatively. But the future is different The industry needs to invest more to meet future climate challenges while protecting the long term interest of customers. In the UK, we see the Scottish water industry working closely with regulators and customers on what is needed to create a climate resilient industry, including CPI+ price increases which have not been seen in Australia for some time.

These two sessions will include leaders from Australia and the UK as we unpack the different aspects of a resilient urban water industry including climate change, affordability, customer trends, innovation, water security, asset performance and regional. The sessions will be facilitated by Adam Lovell, Executive Director, WSAA and include the following speakers and panellists.

The session will consider the need for a Melbourne Water long term and consistent national approach. Specifically, it will explore how it could be developed and adopted, potential advantages and disadvantages of a coordinated approach, as well as how local-specific perspectives and drivers can be incorporated. Considering the recent drought, the topic is a timely one as many organisations explore the role of recycled water as a water security measure. Australia has been recycling water for decades, however we have limited the ways we use it, and slow to embrace PRWD. Why? Wider scale implementation of PRWD using wastewater and stormwater can provide a sustainable, climate independent source of water. But what does it look like and how do we get there? This panel discussion aims to build on the workshop at Ozwater’19 “Is Australia ready to drink recycled water?” by continuing the conversation and exploring the strategies needed to progress the journey forward. After hearing from the panel, consisting of regional and metropolitan water utilities, regulators, government bodies and industry associations, there will be a facilitated Q&A discussion between panellists and attendees.
