Have your say about planning our water for the future
Thank you for your interest in this important research project.
Woolcott Research & Engagement is an independent market research company. We have been engaged by Sydney Water to speak with local residents and businesses to find out their preferences for future water management in the Sydney and Illawarra regions. This feedback will input into the development of the Great Sydney Water Strategy.
Up to 100 community members will take part in each forum but will discuss issues in small groups. You do not need to know anything about water or wastewater services at all as information to aid discussions will be provided at the sessions. We generally find that people really enjoy taking part.
We are holding community forums from 6pm-9pm in the following locations:
