SWAN Systems Expands Smart Water Management Across Sydney Councils
SWAN Systems, Bonneville Environmental Foundation, and Google have announced new partnerships with Woollahra and Ku-ring-gai Councils, bringing advanced water management technology to parks and green spaces by expanding smart water management projects across multiple councils. These councils join Hornsby Shire, Penrith City and Liverpool City Councils, who have been using SWAN Systems’ technology to optimise water use.
Using data-driven irrigation and predictive modelling, SWAN Systems enables councils to optimise water use, reduce waste, and improve long-term sustainability outcomes across urban landscapes.
“We are excited to bring another council on board to maximise water efficiency,” said Tim Hyde, CEO of SWAN Systems. “This initiative reflects a growing commitment by local governments to use technology for better water stewardship, ensuring sustainable green spaces for communities while conserving vital resources.”
The SWAN Systems platform enables councils to:
- Improve water efficiency through precise, data-driven irrigation (up to 30% savings)
- Reduce water waste and support climate resilience
- Maintain healthier parks and urban landscapes
The partnerships align with both local council sustainability plans and Google’s water stewardship target, focusing on reducing water consumption, improving urban greening, and strengthening community resilience.
Ku-ring-gai Mayor Christine Kay:
“The partnership with SWAN Systems will assist the Council to manage its use of water in a much more targeted way and help progress our Net Zero goals of sustainable water use across the community.”
Woollahra General Manager, Craig Swift-McNair:
“Woollahra Council is very pleased to be participating in this initiative, which will see reductions in water use across our area and contribute to climate resilience.”
Google’s Global Water Stewardship Lead, Tara Varghese, added:
“Google’s water stewardship strategy focuses on three critical areas: enhancing stewardship across our campuses, replenishing the freshwater we consume back to its source watershed, and deploying technology to solve water security challenges. This collaboration with SWAN Systems demonstrated the power of predictive technology in action, proving how digital innovation can address water shortages.”
