Join us for our upcoming Know Your Neighbour event on 23rd October.

Our Know Your Neighbour or “KYN” events are state-based events designed to bring local members together to network and discuss key challenges and opportunities specific to their area.

Hosted by Hunter Water at their Newcastle site at 2:30pm on Wednesday, 23rd October, this event will feature a multitude of exciting opportunities for our members, including an exciting line-up of expert speakers addressing some of the most pressing issues in the water sector today.

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear about:

• The growing challenge of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) and the ongoing efforts to protect drinking water.
• How Hunter Water successfully managed PFAS contamination in a drinking water source, presented by Dr Brendan Berghout.
• ECHIDNA, the Emerging Chemicals Database for National Awareness, demonstrated by WaterRA’s Dr Marty Hancock. Learn about its unique risk prioritisation tool designed for the water industry.
• WaterNSW’s innovative approach to drinking water catchment monitoring and the new sampling techniques being deployed to detect contaminants.
• The effects-based screening of the Campvale Canal, with Dr Maddison Carbery explaining the new methodologies being applied to understand contamination risk.

This event offers an excellent opportunity to gain valuable insights, network with fellow professionals, engage with the WaterRA team, and enjoy light refreshments to close the day.

We encourage all members to register early and secure their spot at this insightful and collaborative event!
