Western Region SWS
The Western Region Sustainable Water Strategy is one of four regional strategies being developed by the Victorian Government to secure water resources for the next 50 years. The Strategy will respond to pressures facing water resources including climate change, drought and landuse change. Ultimately, the Western Region Sustainable Water Strategy will aim to provide water security for urban and rural water users, our rivers and aquifers in the Western Region.
The Western Region covers agricultural and urban centres including Colac, Port Campbell, Horsham, Stawell, Ararat, Hamilton, Warrnambool and Portland. River basins include the Otway Coast, Corangamite, Hopkins, Glenelg, Portland, Millicent, Wimmera, Avoca and the southern half of the Mallee.
