Water and climate change are intimately linked.
And now, interestingly, the Victorian Government wants to
the public to join the conversation about the state’s water.
In a discussion paper entitled “Water for Victoria” the
state’s Premier Daniel Andrews and the Minister for Environment, Climate Change
and Water, Lisa Neville, have issued the invite.
Discussing “How to get involved” the discussion paper says:
This discussion paper for public consultation has been developed with
input from key stakeholders across the water sector, including water
corporations, catchment management authorities, the environmental water holder,
local government, Traditional Owners, farming groups, environmental groups and
recreational groups.
The government is now seeking broader community input and feedback to
inform the final water plan. Your views and ideas are important for achieving
our vision for water. The government welcomes and encourages the involvement of
all Victorians in helping to shape the strategic directions for water management
in Victoria for decades to come. The discussion paper will be open for public
consultation until Friday 29 April 2016, with a final water plan released in
mid-2016.
There are several different ways for the community and stakeholders to
get involved.
Submissions will be made public unless confidentiality is requested.
Submissions that are defamatory or offensive will not be published.
