The Queensland Water Directorate (qldwater) is an organisation consisting of representatives from the IPWEAQ the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ), the Australian Water Association (AWA) and the Local Government Managers Association (LGMA).
The Queensland Water Directorate was primarily formed to assist the urban water industry in Queensland and complement the services provided by the founder organisations and other Queensland providers such as Queensland Government Departments, industry bodies, consultants and Regional Natural Resources Management bodies. The formation of the Queensland Water Directorate occurred as a response to an expressed need of the urban water industry in Queensland that was not filled by any existing body.
