The Stormwater Australia National Awards for Excellence ceremony was held on 29th March 2023, in conjunction with the franc.sydney conference.
There was a high standard of entry across all six (6) categories, which is reflective that all finalists were previously recipients of State Excellence Awards. We would like to commend everyone for their dedication and commitment to improving stormwater management across Australia.
Due to the high quality of projects, Stormwater Australia will be looking to promote the work of all finalists and category winners. We will be providing project profiles via our newsletter, new website and webinars during the year.
