Strategic Intent

Barwon Water will provide quality water and sewerage services through high performance and in an environmentally responsible manner.

In 2008, Barwon Water developed a Strategic Intent, its blueprint for the future.

The plan is a rolling 5-year plan that encompasses a promise to stakeholders, strategic directions and objectives for the business and actions for employees.

The Strategic Intent forms a framework for Barwon Water to become a high performance organisation.
