The Victorian Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action is developing a new Victorian Waterway Management Strategy to guide how waterways are managed in Victoria into the future.
The Department seeks your views on a Discussion Starter to help shape the development of the new draft Strategy. The final Strategy is expected to be released in 2025.
The Department is working closely with key stakeholders throughout the project on development of the new Strategy. The next round of formal public consultation will take place when the draft Strategy is released for public comment which is expected in 2024.
The purpose of this consultation is to:
- Provide information as to why a new Victorian Waterway Management Strategy is needed.
- Invite input into a new vision for the future of our waterways, which will help us develop the new Strategy.
- Invite early feedback on what the new Strategy needs to achieve.
Please read the Developing the new Victorian Waterway Management Strategy Discussion Starter and provide feedback by 1 September 2023.
