Location: South-East Queensland (now Statewide)
Project Date: 2006-2007

Project Description 

Trevor Lloyd undertook the role of Project Director for the Business Water Efficiency Program (BWEP), a key initiative of the Queensland State Government designed to assist the business sector in Queensland implement measures that will achieve longer term water use efficiency. The task involves management of a process of problem definition, broad-scale analysis, strategy development, project plan development, procurement and delivery.

BWEP is designed to provide technical and financial support to the business sector to achieve water savings in a timely and effective manner.

The primary objective of BWEP in South-East Queensland is to deliver a minimum saving of 12 ML per day across Queensland by April 2008 in accordance with the provisions of Water Amendment Regulation (No.6) Schedule 10C Water-saving initiatives – Item 9 (‘emergency’ regulation). 

The BWEP has been successfully established in South-East Queensland through SEQWater on behalf of DLGPSR, and is now proposed to be rolled out across Queensland. The Department of Local Government, Planning, Sport & Recreation (DLGPSR) have approached SEQ Water, the Queensland Water Directorate (QWD) and the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) to undertake an initial Feasibility Assessment and Planning Study into how this could be achieved.
