The My Victorian Waterway survey is a piece of social research conducted by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP).
The survey is designed for any Victorian who visits a waterway, which refers to any river, stream, creek, floodplain, wetland, estuary, lake, water storage or reservoir. It should take only 10 minutes to complete, and it will be open from 23 March 2022 to 17 April 2022. The survey can be accessed directly via this link and it can also be found on water.vic.gov.au
Responses to this survey will help us understand what the community’s vision is for how waterways are managed. We want to know how Victorian’s use their waterways and what they value about them – making sure we are putting Victorian’s needs first.
This survey will build on data collected in a previous My Victorian Waterway Survey (2009) to identify trends in waterway use, perceptions, and knowledge over time. We have used responses from the last survey to inform government policy, decision-making and investments.
The survey is available in seven languages – English, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Hindi, Punjabi, Arabic and Vietnamese. A free phone translation service is also provided on the survey landing page.
