Organiser IWA - Institute of Water Administration
Organiser of IWA July 2021 - SIG Meetings
IWA has a proud history, commencing life as a group of Water and Sewerage Trust Secretaries in Gippsland getting together in 1967 to share ideas and experiences to improve their individual and collective administrative capability and performance.
During the next couple of decades the IWA became a statewide body and played a leading role in developing skills and networks which helped the industry transform during the 1980’s & early 90’s. By the mid 1990’s the reform of the industry had reduced the number of Water Authorities by about 80%, and the IWA faced significant challenges with membership and attendances.
In 1997, the Institute responded to these challenges by undertaking a strategic planning process, which amongst other things, led to the birth of the Special Interest Groups, which have revitalised the IWA over the last decade or so.
Fast forward to present day, the IWA and its 10 different Special Interest Groups, in collaboration with VicWater and the Victorian Branch of the AWA is going stronger than ever.
