Proud to support connection and collaboration at Ozwater 2026

Service Stream proudly sponsored the Presidents Dinner at Ozwater 2026 in Brisbane this week, supporting one of the water industry’s most important opportunities for connection, collaboration and discussion.

Ozwater continues to play a significant role in shaping conversations around the future of the sector and the communities it serves by bringing together water professionals, industry leaders and partners from across Australia and overseas.

This year’s theme, “Our Water. Our Tomorrow.”, highlights the shared responsibility of the industry to build a more sustainable, resilient and connect future.

Service Stream Managing Director Leigh Mackender attended the President’s Dinner alongside clients, partners and industry representatives.

“Across the industry, we’re navigating growing demand, climate pressures, ageing infrastructure and evolving community expectations,” said Leigh.

“These are not challenges any organisation can solve alone, which is why forums like Ozwater are so important. They create space for collaboration, innovation and meaningful conversations about the future of water in Australia.”

The President’s Dinner provided an opportunity to reconnect with industry peers, strengthen relationships and kick-off discussions on the challenges and opportunities shaping the sector before the full conference program gets underway. 

“One of the standout moments of the evening was hearing from guest speaker Baringa Barambah, whose reflections on connection to Country, community leadership and shared responsibility brought a powerful and thoughtful perspective to the conversation,” said Leigh.

“At Service Stream, we recognise that delivering essential infrastructure services is only part of the role we play. Long-term success comes from strong partnerships, shared accountability and working together to support the communities that rely on these services every day.”

Service Stream is proud to work alongside our clients and partners to deliver essential water infrastructure and network services that support communities across Australia, today and into the future.
