The Australian edition of Water in Mining
(Pan Pacific, Perth, Australia, 8-9 September 2026)
will consist of two days of unmissable content addressing the sectors most pressing challenges while deep diving into issues such as water management, strategy, groundwater and aquifer recharge, tailings, closure and remediation, community engagement and more.

With speakers and attendees from across the mining community and supply chain, this is the place for collaboration and conversations designed to shift the narrative around water and increase your understanding of growing regulatory and climate pressures. 

Unlike multi-sector forums, the Water in Mining series is laser-focused on the technical, environmental and social complexities unique to mining. It’s intimate, purpose-built environment encourages deeper knowledge exchange and high-impact networking, building a committed, collaborative community that genuinely cares about driving change.

“This event offers more than dialogue—it’s about empowering mining professionals with practical strategies and new cross-sector partnerships that fundamentally change how operations interact with water resources. As the mining sector faces increasing pressure from investors, communities, and regulators to manage water sustainably, this event presents a timely opportunity to lead the change.”

Mining professionals, indigenous and community leaders, regulators and policy makers championing Australian mining and water stewardship.

Speakers with expert topic knowledge on Australian-specific challenges in mine water management.

Hours of dedicated networking with key players from across the Australian mining community.

Days of redefining how the Australian mining sector approaches water.

Organisations that fail to get to grips with their water strategy faced increased business risk. From project delays to public disapproval, mining companies must do more to drive responsible water use.  

Join the industry’s leading forum to meet with regulators, mining companies and solution providers under one roof coming together for meaningful conversation that results in lasting change.

I'm most excited about the distinctly Australian conversations. This inaugural local edition is the moment to hear how our own operators, regulators and communities are tackling challenges unique to Australian mining.
