Barwon Water in collaboration with Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CCMA), Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA), Southern Rural Water (SRW) and Wannon Water have engaged Alluvium, a catchment, river and coast consulting firm, to undertake a FLOWS study of the Gellibrand River and Estuary.

The FLOWS method is Victoria’s statewide approach for determining environmental water requirements of rivers. It plays a key role in environmental water management and integrated waterway management planning.

This project will help us understand how much water the Gellibrand River requires to maintain river health. It will also help us account for any changes in the catchment since the last flow recommendations were developed in 2007 and 2008.

Join the Project Advisory Group

We are seeking community members to become part of the FLOWS study Project Advisory Group (PAG). The PAG will support the development of environmental objectives for the study and ensure community values and expectations are represented as part of the overall program.

If you would like to be part of the PAG please fill out the Expression of interest form below.
