The 2026 Water Minister’s Climate Innovation Challenge opens on
22 April 2026, with a focused theme on the future of biosolids
management.
Delivered as part of the Victorian Water Sector Emissions Transition Plan, the Challenge is seeking practical, innovative solutions that reduce emissions, recover valuable resources, and address contaminants of concern.
Intelligent Water Networks (IWN) invites all Victorian water corporations to participate, with collaboration across industry, research, and government strongly encouraged.
$320,000 in funding is available to support projects that deliver long-term value and contribute to a net-zero emissions water sector by 2035.
