Water for Life Education Program - educating the community and support water educators

Council Partnership Kit

The Water for Life Council Partnership Kit was developed to support councils to increase community understanding of the large number of water recycling, stormwater harvesting and water efficiency projects that councils are managing, and to encourage wise water use.

Eighteen councils applied for grants of up to $10,000 each prior to the closing date, to carry out water education campaigns.

Six different sets of communications resources are provided, including three focussing on water recycling and three focussing on water efficiency. The full list of resources is included in the guidelines. Click on the example images below to see a larger size.

1. Water recycling resources

2. Water efficiency resources

The resources from the Council Partnership Kit are still available for councils across NSW to use. Approval must be sought from the Department of Water and Energy prior to the use of the materials. To request a copy of the Kit email education@waterforlife.nsw.gov.au or call the Department of Water and Energy on (02) 8281 7487. The guidelines for the Kit can be downloaded.

For each of these resources, templates are provided for:

print advertisements for Cumberland and Fairfax community newspapers
bus interiors
bus backs
adshels (bus shelters).

These materials have unlocked sections where councils could add:

council logo
specific key messages on local water recycling, stormwater harvesting or water efficiency projects.
