Minister for Water Releases the Gippsland Region Sustainable Water Strategy

Water Minister Peter Walsh has released a comprehensive water management plan for Gippsland. The Gippsland Region Sustainable Water Strategy maps out the region’s water resources and the challenges and opportunities facing all water users over the next 50 years.

“The strategy includes actions to help improve the health of Gippsland’s river and waterways and to secure water supplies for agriculture, industry, business and homes,” Mr Walsh said.

The Gippsland Region Sustainable Water Strategy is the result of a two and a half year collaborative process involving community members, water users, water industry stakeholders, independent experts, Government departments, catchment management authorities and water corporations. Many submissions were made by the community in response to the Discussion Paper and the Draft Strategy, which informed the development of the policies and actions in the Strategy.
