Waterwise Development Program
Our Waterwise Development Program highlights the fundamental role developers have in building waterwise communities by providing a way to recognise best practice outcomes
Supporting developers to implement water efficiency principles in their estates helps us work towards our long-term plan to provide a sustainable water future for generations to come.
The Waterwise Development Program criteria has been expanded and a new recognition scheme has been introduced, moving beyond water efficiency focusing on broader outcomes like urban cooling and public amenity.
Program benefits
- Recognition of your Waterwise Development endorsement and exclusive access to utilise the waterwise logo, promotional materials, brochures, marketing opportunities to promote your project as a Waterwise Development.
- Invitation to workshops, networking and industry events.
How to become endorsed
- Developments certified by the following sustainability frameworks will be eligible for endorsement. We may also consider other certification programs where justification is provided by the applicant:
