The Wimmera Catchment Management Authority (CMA) want you to have your say to assist in the development of a new 10-year action plan for rivers, streams, wetlands and their floodplains.
The Wimmera Waterway Strategy is a plan that helps waterway managers and the community look after Wimmera waterways. The strategy will benefit waterway health, fish and other wildlife, and people who use and enjoy waterways. The strategy updates and replaces the Wimmera Waterway Strategy 2014. It will reflect catchment changes since 2014 and priorities of the Wimmera community.
The Wimmera Waterway Strategy will describe:
- Wimmera waterways and their importance to the community.
- The community’s desired outcomes for waterways over the next 10 and 20-years.
- Threats and challenges impacting on waterways.
- Priority areas for action during the 10-year strategy’s life.
- An implementation plan including actions for achieving the community’s desired outcomes for waterways.
Wimmera CMA will develop a draft Wimmera Water Strategy considering contributions from community members and partner organisations during 2025. The CMA will seek public feedback on a draft Wimmera Waterway Strategy in early 2026.
