Northern Region Sustainable Water Strategy
The Northern Region Sustainable Water Strategy has been released by the Victorian Government to secure the water future for urban, industrial, agricultural and environmental water users for the next 50 years.
The Strategy is the result of 18 months’ consultation in northern Victoria, punctuated by the release of first the Discussion Paper, and then the Draft Strategy which allowed local communities, individuals and organisations to comment on proposed ways to manage or guide water use.
