Description:

The Stormwater Victoria Conference Organising Committee invites you to join us at our 2025 Conference, themed 'More than the Sum of Our Parts: the Value of Collective Action.' Taking place at Wangaratta Performing Arts and Convention Centre, Wangaratta, VIC on Tuesday, 3 and Wednesday 4 June 2025.  

This event offers an exciting opportunity for professionals across the stormwater sector to connect, learn, and share knowledge. Optional pre-conference workshops are scheduled for Monday 2 June, followed by a Technical Tour on Thursday 5 June.

As Victoria faces increasing challenges from climate change, rapid population growth, and the pressure of housing development, we find ourselves at a critical crossroads for urban water management. Thoughtfully managed stormwater holds great potential to transform our cities and towns, providing water security, reducing flood risk, enhancing biodiversity, and fostering resilient, cooler, and greener urban environments.

But we can't do it alone. The success of stormwater management relies on collaboration across every stage—from planning to long-term maintenance. Through collective action, we can make a meaningful difference.

Be part of the change, and join us at the Stormwater Victoria 2025 Conference to learn, contribute, and network with experts dedicated to a sustainable urban water future. We look forward to seeing you there!
