Water Think Tank - Wednesday 6 August
The Victorian Waterway Management Strategy (VWMS) shapes how waterway health is funded, protected, and governed across Victoria. It influences everything from:
|
-
|
Environmental flows and river restoration
|
-
|
Planning protections for creeks and rivers
|
-
|
Funding for local groups and catchment partnerships
|
-
|
Integration of Traditional Owner values and leadership
|
The updated strategy (2026–2036) offers a rare opportunity to ensure community-led voices — like those in the Maribyrnong and its tributaries — are embedded in future waterway governance.
|
Join us for a special edition of the Water Think Tank focused on developing a collective community submission to the VWMS.
|
This session will feature a briefing from a DEECA representative, followed by a discussion to identify what we think matters most to our waterways and communities.
|
📅 Date: Wednesday 6 August 2025
🕙 Time: 10:00am – 12:00pm
📍 Location: Hume Global Learning Centre – Sunbury (Meeting Room 3)
44 Macedon St, Sunbury VIC 3429
