Aqwest is involved in a number of water conservation activities in the local community.
Aqwest promotes National Water Week in October each year.
In 2018, Aqwest gave out free waterwise plants at the Bunbury Markets on Saturday October 20 to celebrate National Water Week from October 21-27.
Everyone who attended received a free seedling suitable for Bunbury conditions, grown by the Leschenault Nursery.
In 2019 National Water Week will be held from October 21–27. Watch this space for more news.
Aqwest’s annual Photography Competition is held each year, with entries opening on May 1 and closing on the last Friday in June.
Each year the competition has a theme and professional photographers judge entries based on technical competence, creativity and representation of the theme.
The winners receive prize money up to 4th place and the students’ schools receive prize money for each prize money placing up to 4th place. Two Board prizes are awarded with prize money. Four finalists in each category also receive prize money.
Winners are announced at an awards ceremony in August each year.
Keep an eye on our latest news and our social media outlets to see when entries open.
