‘If the water is healthy, the land is healthy, the people are healthy’

Thank you to everyone who helped make the Stormwater Conference 2023 in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland such a huge success. We particularly appreciate the support of our exhibitors, partners and sponsors.

Over the years the Stormwater Conference has gone from strength to strength and 2023 was a record breaker, with almost 600 delegates.
It’s now clear that we need to take stormwater management seriously to ensure a more climate-resilient future.
With that I am already looking forward to welcoming you to Stormwater 2024 – this time in the capital city, Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington.

So please mark the dates (15 – 17 May 2024) and keep an eye out for updates. We’ll be bringing you more details over the coming months.
