Stormwater Summit 2026

“Stormwater infrastructure underpins resilient, sustainable communities. It protects people and property from flooding, safeguards our waterways, and supports the growth of thriving cities and regions. As climate pressures and urban development intensify, the industry’s role in delivering innovative, future-ready water management solutions has never been more critical.”

Join us in Brisbane for the Stormwater Summit, where we will discuss, show-case and drive action for beyond best practice stormwater management - and celebrate Stormwater Queensland's 2026 Awards for Excellence.

This event, led by Stormwater Queensland in collaboration with Griffith University and International Water Centre, will connect Queensland’s leading stormwater professionals and stakeholders. The summit aims to connect with other key stakeholders that have an interest or dependency on the protection and management of stormwater - including regulators, engineers, scientists, planners, urban designers, and landscape architects.

Through technical content, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities and social functions, we will build relationships and foster opportunities to work together for the future.
