Statewide Water Information Management

Statewide Water Information Management (SWIM) is an online data portal. It is a joint initiative of qldwater, and the Local Government Association of Queensland in partnership with the Queensland Government.

SWIM Online has been created to:

  • make it easier for Local Government Water Service Providers to supply data requested by State and Commonwealth Governments; and
  • help Local Governments get the greatest value from their data.
