Who Does What in Water
Across Gippsland there are a number of Government agencies and community groups that work together to protect our catchments and waterways and to manage water resources, supply and demand.
Sometimes their boundaries overlap, but each organisation has quite a different role and offers different services.
The below PDF sheds light on the major roles and responsibilities of each agency with respect to water, as well as each organisation responsible for caring for water in the Gippsland region including their responsibilities, boundaries and contact details.
