Watertight Group at HDC2025: Strengthening Australia’s Sovereign Capability
Watertight Group was honoured to exhibit at the 2025 Hunter Defence Conference (HDC2025), joining a dynamic community of Defence industry stakeholders, SMEs in Defence, and Australian infrastructure specialists united by a shared commitment to enhancing Australia’s sovereign capability.
Held in the heart of the Hunter Region, HDC2025 showcased the critical role of Defence infrastructure, local supply chains, and skilled trades in supporting Australia’s Defence readiness. A consistent theme echoed throughout the event: Australia’s Defence capability is deeply reliant on the strength and resilience of its industrial base — and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) are at the core of that foundation.
As a proud Australian SME, Watertight Group is committed to contributing to this national objective through our specialised Defence plumbing solutions. Our work ensures the delivery of safe, reliable, and resilient infrastructure — a vital component in supporting Defence operations and Defence estate management.
We believe skilled trades, robust local supply chains, and innovative plumbing services are essential to building the infrastructure Defence depends on. Through our continued partnerships and expertise, Watertight Group is helping to shape a future where Australia’s sovereign capability is secure, sustainable, and locally driven.
We extend our thanks to the organisers of HDC2025 and to all those who visited our exhibit. It was a privilege to connect with like-minded professionals and explore new opportunities to collaborate in support of Australia’s Defence mission.
