The North East Regional Waterway Strategy is being renewed 

The new strategy will guide investment in waterway management for the next 10 years across the North East CMA region. It will help drive the work of agencies and community groups and generate a shared understanding of our priorities for each waterway system. 

North East Victoria is a diverse geographic region encompassing the alpine ranges of the Great Dividing Range, the fertile Ovens and King River valleys, and the floodplains along the Murray River, stretching from the Victorian Alps in the south to the New South Wales border in the north. The area comprises approximately 2% of the geographic area of the Murray-Darling Basin, yet the region’s water resources contribute around 40% of the water in the Murray-Darling Basin system.  

The North East CMA is hosting community engagement sessions at multiple locations this August and September. Community members are invited to attend, share their insights and help set shared strategic outcomes. 

All participants, as well as broader stakeholders, will have the opportunity to review the full draft strategy following this series of workshops. 

Workshop dates and locations: 

All community members are welcome to attend these sessions, with no registration required.
