The WIOA Queensland Advisory Committee is excited to once again host this popular event at the West Cairns Bowls Club.
Proudly supported by our National Partner, Prominent, our naming sponsor, Royce Water. As well as our supporting Sponsors, Hach and TRILITY.
Join us for an operationally focused morning of presentations, followed by lunch and an afternoon of barefoot bowls for this renowned charity fundraiser. This networking event brings together water industry operations professionals from across the region for learning, sharing, and connection that’s free for members.
We’re building on the success of previous years and looking forward to making the 2025 event our biggest and best!
