The Department of Water and the Water Corporation, with support from the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) – Local Governments for Sustainability, have developed a Waterwise Council program. The aim of this program is to build a co-operative working relationship with local governments to improve water use efficiency in local government and their communities.
The Waterwise Council program helps councils in Western Australia adhere to the state government's water efficiency measures and further encourages improved water use management at a corporate and community level.
The state government recognises that many councils have already demonstrated improvements in water efficiency. So for some council the program will be a formalisation of the good work they are already doing and for others it will provide a platform for improvement.
