NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN!
The 2027 Stormwater Western Australia Awards for Excellence recognise and celebrate excellence in the innovation, development, delivery and management of stormwater projects, as well as the people behind them.
Participating in the Awards is more than an opportunity to gain recognition. It is a chance to inspire others, share achievements and showcase the meaningful work our industry delivers every day. For organisations involved in every facet of stormwater, the Awards are a chance to be publicly recognised for their achievements, and to showcase leading practice across a range of stormwater disciplines and sectors.
The journey begins with the State and Territory Awards for Excellence, where outstanding projects, initiatives and individuals are recognised for their contribution to the industry and the communities they serve. State winners then advance to the National Awards, where the best projects, teams, and individuals come together, demonstrating the power of innovation and management to overcome challenges and drive lasting change.

Green infrastructure has not traditionally been included in asset and financial management plans, an omission that has often led to its neglect and degradation, and subsequent waste of the initial investment. The development of the manual is a significant step in having the value of nature in our cities understood, and will enable asset owners to plan, protect, and invest in our natural assets.
The Green Infrastructure Management Manual offers practical guidance on 24 types of green infrastructure, including lifecycle management, relative risks, costs, and value. Packed with case studies, tools, and a simple framework for integrating green assets into financial and asset planning, it helps councils and asset stewards make informed decisions that enhance urban liveability, biodiversity, and climate resilience.
The GIMM empowers councils, engineers, asset managers, and planners to integrate nature-based infrastructure - including street trees, parks, green roofs, wetlands, and coastal habitats - into asset and financial management plans.
Together with our presentation partners, we invite you to register today!
