Welcome to the STORMWATER INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION Stormwater Industry Association links the diverse and multi-disciplinary interests of all Australian stakeholders of the Stormwater Industry and represents them at all national forums. Stormwater Industry Association promotes innovative and sustainable practice technologies, standards and policies that minimise adverse environmental, social and economic impacts. The SIA also facilitates an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of agencies and partners working to improve the management of our natural and built stormwater systems, provides an advisory and reference service for the industry and promotes the concept that stormwater is a resource. The national activities of SIA are supported by incorporated state based associations that enable local practitioners and the broad community to learn about available stormwater management and quality technologies, provide a platform which encourages interaction between the multiplicity of disciplines and parties engaged in our industry and encourage the development and understanding of new technologies. The state SIAs also provide opportunities for all interested practitioners and organisations to network within and across disciplines and to influence stormwater policy, legislation and industry guidelines at local and national levels.
