Victoria’s water sector is entering a significant investment cycle, with major renewals, treatment plant upgrades and regional infrastructure projects underway to support population growth, climate resilience and agricultural productivity.

ICN Victoria connects project owners and suppliers through our Gateway by ICN platform and industry advisory network — enabling early market engagement, strengthening local participation and ensuring Victorian capability is mobilised across every stage of delivery.

Demand for resilient, sustainable water infrastructure is surging to match booming population growth, changing climates, and thriving regional hubs. We help project owners, suppliers and service providers tap into billion-dollar opportunities, with local content at the core.

Victoria’s $20.2 billion agricultural industry and fastest-growing LGAs are driving infrastructure investment and innovation.

• The state government’s $691 million commitment to critical water projects sets new benchmarks for local participation.
• Major renewal projects, like the $711 million Western Water Treatment Plant upgrade, need local solutions and skilled suppliers.

Going local isn’t just great for the economy, it’s a must for government-backed projects. With Victorian water projects demanding 80–90% local content, we are your partner for finding the people, products and expertise that keep projects moving and communities thriving.​ Our in-the-know Industry Advisers can help to open doors across Geelong, Gippsland, Northern Victoria, and more.
