National Water Week

To celebrate National Water Week 2024, we asked early learning and primary-aged students from across our service area to design a poster.
 

This year’s competition winners
 

More than 1240 entries were submitted by children from 47 schools and early learning centres across 10 Local Government Areas within our region!

Greater Western Water employees voted for their favourite posters which they felt demonstrated outstanding creativity and a deep understanding of this year's theme, 'Water for All, Inspiring Action'.
