INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT INNOVATION EXCELLENCE AWARD 2024-25
The Infrastructure Project Innovation award recognises significant and innovative infrastructure projects within the water industry that drive prosperity and sustainability. Projects that may be included in this award are those which involve new or upgraded built and non-built infrastructure solutions which have delivered improved outcomes for the organisation, community and/or industry.
The category is split for judging at both a state and national level based on whether the project was completed in a metropolitan or regional area. The nominee should refer to the Greater Capital City Statistical Areas (GCCSA) map supplied by the Australian Bureau of Statistics to determine which category they believe their project best fits into. It will then be at the discretion of the judging panel should they determine the category needs to be changed.
The same criteria will be used to assess the submissions in both categories (Metro and Regional).
This award is open to any Australian Water Association corporate member.
