Dear ANZBP members and colleagues,

Welcome to the ANZBP August Newsletter. We are excited to announce that the Australian Water Association biannual Biosolids and Source Management conference will be returning to Melbourne this November!

After 30 years of progress, the biosolids industry has really come of age and this year’s conference offers us a tremendous opportunity to pause, re-assess where the industry is at, look at the journey we have taken and examine the lessons learned. These reflections will help us define where we go from here, examine predicted trends and create an industry fit to support Australia and New Zealand’s societies and sustainability agendas into the future.

The call for papers is now open, and early bird tickets are available throughout August.

ANZBP will be playing an integral role at the conference, and having secured a discounted rate for our members, we hope you will take this opportunity to join us in Melbourne!
