Draft Central Region Sustainable Water Strategy
Draft Central Region Sustainable Water Strategy
The Draft Central Region Sustainable Water Strategy is a plan to secure water supplies for homes, business, industry, agriculture and the environment for the next 50 years.
It will secure water supplies for all users in the face of future pressures on the resource such as climate change, population growth, economic development and land use change.
This Draft Strategy is an integrated approach to water resource planning. It considers all water sources including rivers, reservoirs, aquifers, as well as recycled water, storm water and seawater.
The Central Region covers an arc around Melbourne, including Geelong, Ballarat, the Macedon district and West Gippsland. It includes the Barwon, Moorabool, Werribee, Maribyrnong, Yarra, Bunyip, Thomson and Latrobe river catchments.
