Consultative Forum
The Hunter Water Consultative Forum, which was established in 1989, meets quarterly to discuss Hunter Water’s activities with relevant local councils and community representatives to provide two way communications with important stakeholders.
The Forum consists of representatives from five local councils as well as representatives of major customer, environmental and community groups.
In 2010, meetings will be held on:
- 11 March
- 10 June
- 16 September

Hunter Water uses the Forum to give information and advice on issues related to our activities in the Hunter region. Community representatives can use the Forum to provide important feedback to Hunter Water and to raise any issues they may have about our activities.
