Channel decommissioning reference group

A Channel Decommissioning Reference Group has been formed to represent stakeholder and community views in Supply System 3, 4 and 6 of the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline area.  The group provides advice to GWWater regarding:

  • Gathering of local knowledge particularly in relation to flooding and drainage to understand the implications of channel decommissioning activities.
  • Identifying and providing advice on future ownership and management responsibilities for retained channels and channel assets.
  • Ensuring that effected landowners and the broader community are informed of the progress and outcomes of the channel decommissioning project.
