Stuart recently attended the AWA & IWA Water Efficiency Conference in Melbourne (EFFICIENT 2025), and it was a fantastic opportunity to connect and reconnect with others passionate about shaping the future of water. The three days’ sessions covered everything from smart metering and leakage detection to behavioural change and digital innovation – all geared toward making our water systems more efficient and resilient. It was great to see how much collaboration is happening across the sector, both locally and globally. This is an excellent biennial global conference recommended to anybody working in water efficiency. We were fortunate that this year it was held in Australia, Efficient 2027 will be held in Lisbon.

Last week Kiara obtained Chartered Status with Engineers Australia and is now recognised as a Chartered Professional Engineer in Civil Engineering.

Congratulations Kiara.

UWS are delighted to share that Bradley Nissley and Wira Yan (from Melbourne Water) will be presenting on Finding the balance between complexity and accuracy in modelling the Sunbury Stormwater Harvesting Scheme in June at the 2023 Stormwater Victoria Conference.

WaterAid’s mission is to reach everyone, everywhere with clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene within a generation. Since 1981, WaterAid has reached over 27 million people with clean water and decent toilets (WaterAid, 2019). This vision inspires us, and we hope it inspires you too.

UWS is pleased to donate to WaterAid and support its efforts to provide safe sanitation and potable water to those in need.

Combined with Water4Good we have collectively raised over $3,500, smashing our target of $2,000.

UWS has migrated to a paperless office. All new project documents are stored digitally. Older projects still had physical project folders that required storage for 7 years. As these projects are archived the hard copy documents are securely destroyed. As a result UWS had approximately 50 lever-arch folders that were available for reuse.

The availability of the folders was advertised and UWS was delighted to find interest at Swinburne University who collected all our empty lever-arch folders.

This has saved these folders from being recycled by being reused by students. UWS wishes the Swinburne University students every success with their studies.
