How we grow our water supplies
Our population is growing and so is the demand for more water. Building more dams isn’t the solution because in the future there won’t be enough rain to fill them. We need to grow our water supplies as our population grows and invest in new water supplies that don’t rely on rainfall.
How we use all sources of water
To meet our growing water needs we need to use all water sources including desalination (for drinking and everyday use) and recycled water (for non-drinking uses like watering crops or sporting fields and for industry). Stormwater can also help to boost our water supplies.
Welcome.
This Strategy is a once in a decade opportunity to plan how we will manage our future water needs. Working with the community, the water industry and Traditional Owners we have developed a discussion draft of the Central and Gippsland Region Sustainable Water Strategy.
Forecast drier conditions and a growing population mean we need to plan now, and we need your help to meet the water challenges in your region. We encourage you to view the videos in our video zone for more information and provide us with your feedback on the proposed solutions to secure our water future.
You can help us by:
Doing a tour of the room, where we have information on our current challenges and the discussion draft strategy as well as videos with more information
Complete the survey questions (5 minutes)
The plan is divided into three regions to best address the unique needs of each area. Scroll to the map and give us a thumbs up or down for some of the ideas we have for the region (5 minutes)
Read through the discussion draft of the Central and Gippsland Sustainable Water Strategy and provide us with your feedback on the proposed directions. You can either read the whole document or just scroll through to the sections of interest to you.
Traditional Owners are the original custodians of Victoria’s land and waters. They have a customary obligation to care for Country and a deep spiritual connection to it. The Registered Aboriginal Parties in the Central and Gippsland Sustainable Water Strategy Region include:
• Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation
• Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation
• Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation
• Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation
• Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation
How we support Healthy Country, Healthy Mob Traditional Owner groups are providing insights and expertise in the planning and management of water in Victoria.

How we invest to secure our water supplies
Currently the costs of water supplies are passed on to water users through their water bills. The Victorian Government could contribute to some of the costs of new water supplies where there are multiple benefits for the community, beyond the supply of water.
How we use water more efficiently
Victorians can be proud of their efforts to save water, however we can all continue to do our bit – in our cities and towns, businesses and schools, on farms and in industry. Taking a shorter shower, using water efficient appliances and machinery,
and monitoring water leaks can all result in significant water savings.
How we share and manage water
With less water available in our rivers we need to consider how we use and share this precious resource. Using all water sources helps to free up water in our rivers – to support native fish, platypus and other species, and for tourism and recreational activities such as fishing, boating and kayaking. It also creates opportunities to return water to Traditional Owners.
