The 2026 Water Minister’s Climate Innovation Challenge (WMCIC) is now open for submissions.
Intelligent Water Networks (IWN) invites all Victorian water corporations to submit and are seeking innovative, practical solutions that transform how biosolids are managed and utilised — reducing emissions, recovering resources, and addressing contaminants of concern, while delivering long-term value to the sector and community.
Collaborative submissions across the sector and with research, government, and industry partners are strongly encouraged. Submissions must be led by a Victorian Water Corporation.
Funding: $320,000 available.
