Registrations Open

Dear Industry Colleague,

Registrations are now open for the Australian Onsite Wastewater Alliance’s upcoming Queensland and Tasmanian Onsite Wastewater Symposiums.

These events will bring together regulators, practitioners, designers, installers, manufacturers, researchers and other industry professionals to share practical experience, discuss emerging issues, and strengthen connections across the onsite and decentralised wastewater sector.

‍Queensland Onsite Wastewater Symposium – Friday 11 September, Capalaba:

‍This event will cover regulation, monitoring, and emerging contaminants; new technologies; artificial intelligence; and practical approaches to improving onsite wastewater outcomes, including presentations from international keynote speaker Dr Sara Heger.

Tasmanian Onsite Wastewater Symposium – 17–18 September, Hobart:

‍The event includes a Southern Beaches field trip on Thursday afternoon followed by the symposium on Friday, with a focus on practical solutions for challenging sites, cool-climate conditions, and improved onsite wastewater performance. Dr Sara Heger will also deliver two keynote presentations.

‍Please register here - https://events.humanitix.com/aowa-tasmanian-onsite-wastewater-symposium-2026

‍For those of you who may have already registered, further details will be provided next week.

We will also shortly be releasing details of AOWA membership options, providing additional opportunities to become involved in and support the development of a stronger national voice for the onsite wastewater sector.

‍Finally, as AOWA is still establishing its administrative arrangements, if you have recently been trying to contact us by telephone, we apologise if we have not been able to respond.

For the time being, email is the preferred channel for formal AOWA communications and enquiries, and we encourage you to contact us directly via this avenue.

We look forward to seeing many of you at our upcoming events and sharing further news about AOWA membership shortly.

Thank you and kind regards

Steve Morton
