Community views and values report

03 May 2016

Seqwater has published a report to the community collating feedback received during the first round of Water for life consultation.

Seqwater started the Water for life conversation with our communities last year. We asked what you valued when it came to water and water planning for South East Queensland.

Across the region, communities told us that above all else, they value high-quality drinking water. You also told us that you think community education about the water cycle and the water supply system is very important.

Seqwater asked participants to give us their thoughts on a list of water considerations. When asked to choose their top five considerations for planning our water future, the community told us that resilience, environment, fair access, cost and innovation were the most important considerations.

What do you think?

Community involvement is an important step in shaping our decision-making framework. Water for life consultation will inform the planning of the next version of the Water Security Program – our plan for providing the region’s drinking water over the next 30 years.

Our conversation with the community has just begun. In June 2016 there will be another opportunity for the community to join the Water for life conversation.
