This event has been postponed until February 25, 2025.
The Water Symposium for the Upper Namoi Valley is a community-centered event aimed at gathering the insights and experiences of our local
community and landholders. Recognising the vital role they play in our region's sustainability, the symposium seeks to address the
challenges and opportunities related to water management in our region. With changing rainfall, temperature, and agricultural practices,
it’s crucial to hear from those most impacted. By fostering dialogue and sharing diverse perspectives, we aim to develop collective
strategies for sustainable water management, landscape rehydration, and resilience against environmental pressures. This collaborative
approach ensures that the voices of our community are at the forefront of shaping a sustainable future for the Upper Namoi Valley.
Program to come soon.
