Proposed changes to West Wimmera Groundwater Management Area

GWMWater propose to create a larger groundwater management unit that fit aquifer boundaries in line with the Western Region Sustainable Water Strategy and the West Wimmera Groundwater Management Strategy.

The proposal is to also abolish current groundwater protections areas to improve the management arrangements for groundwater resources in the area extending from the Wimmera River to the South Australian-Victorian border.

Customer and stakeholder submissions regarding the changes to groundwater resources management are invited and are to be lodged with GWMWater by Wednesday 29 February 2012. These submissions will then be forwarded to the Minister of Water for consideration.

Please see our information sheet complete with maps for more information and we encourage you provide us with feedback on the submission form.
