Welcome

The Wise Water Ways Workshop offers people the opportunity to gather, discuss and learn from a wide range of Australian and overseas waterways experts, researchers and managers. Many of the workshop speakers present new research findings and developments, and offer their first hand experience in stream management.

The first Wise Water Ways Workshop held in 1999 followed a visit by internationally recognised fluvial geomorphologist, Dr Robert Newbury, who led a hands on field training program into water ways management. The Wise Water Ways Workshop has been held annually ever since.  Now in its 26th year, the Wise Water Ways Workshop has delivered programs and shared knowledge with over 900 participants.

Each year, the Wise Water Ways Committee invites specialist researchers in water quality, macroinvertebrate and fish, as well as practical onground managers, to engage with participants and present their most recent findings at the five day workshop.

Wise Water Ways Committee thanks all the high calibre speakers who donate their time in order to achieve the very best practice in waterways management.

Kind regards

Wise Water Ways Committee

Feedback from past participants:

Speakers were clearly experts in their field. Very lucky to hear from them all.
The workshop covered a variety of topics and was also a good balance of theory and practical.
Learning some field skills and then applying them at site was useful, as was having to relate them to management actions. All of the technical presentations were useful too.
It was all really valuable – taking a holistic approach to the waterway.
Learning from a range of experts who are clearly and infectiously passionate.
All presentations were excellent. A good mix of indoor and outdoor instruction.
Having access to the best minds and practitioners in the business was brilliant
Thank you so much to everyone at Wise Waterways for such a wonderful learning experience. It has been extremely valuable to me.
It was a fantastic week, a huge thank you to everyone involved for all their work, the passion and enthusiasm of the presenters was great to experience.
I would like to thank the Wise Water Ways committee for their tremendous work and effort in organisation and hosting the workshop. It was a highlight to meet other NRM staff from various states and learn from them.
The Wise Water Ways Workshop was intense, but a valuable experience for me. I definitely walked away with knowing a lot more than I anticipated. The working groups were also a chance to network and create a working friendship with people, I otherwise wouldn’t have probably ever met.
The diversity of people and organisations that attended were interesting to me and it was good to see Wise Water Ways has become more inclusive with First Nations Peoples. Just thought I’d give some feedback!

We would like to thank the following partners:
