Working together for better drinking water in the bush
Technical research report design

Blurred abstract image with shades of brown, beige, white, and black colors.

Designed to stand out on the desks of decision-makers, the Working together for better drinking water in the bush report translates forum results into a visually engaging and impactful format, reflecting both the content and the communities it represents.

WDM was engaged to create a large-format report that could capture attention while maintaining the integrity and depth of the research. The design highlights First Nations and remote communities, ensuring the data is presented with clarity and relevance to the stakeholders it serves. The result is a report that is both authoritative and visually compelling, supporting the Goyder Institute’s mission to deliver actionable insights on drinking water quality across regional and remote Australia.
