Wide Bay Water Corporation is responsible for the provision of water and wastewater services to the city of Hervey Bay on Queensland's Fraser Coast.

In meeting the needs of one of the State's fastest-growing regional areas, Wide Bay Water Corporation has devised and implemented a series of integrated programs which have resulted in Australia's first ecologically sustainable water and wastewater network.

These programs have been widely acknowledged by water experts and other water authorities, as well as by a number of national awards.

In addition to managing Wide Bay Water's core operations in Hervey Bay, consultancy services are available to assist with relevant government, community and commercial projects.

The city of Hervey Bay stretches along the mid-Queensland coast, opposite World Heritage-listed Fraser Island and adjacent to the Great Sandy Straits, a significant breeding ground for migrating humpback whales.

As the water authority for one of Australia's ten fastest growing regions, Wide Bay Water Corporation's challenge is to secure an adequate water supply for the city's ever-increasing population, with minimum impact on the surrounding land and marine environment.

One of the key components of Wide Bay Water Corporation's supply strategy has been the Total Demand Management Program. This ground-breaking initiative addresses all aspects of the water demand equation by minimising water usage by customers and maximising the volume of water available.

Wide Bay Water Corporation is one of the first Australian water authorities to approach demand management in a holistic manner, combining environmental, social and economic initiatives to create a sustainable water supply for the region - now and into the future.
