Barwon Water services a region that is an amazing place to live, work and play. We’re proud to play our part in making our region great.


From Little River and the Bellarine Peninsula in the east, to Colac in the west, and from Meredith and Cressy in the north, to Apollo Bay on Victoria’s south-west coast – our region is vast and diverse.

Long-term planning is critical to deliver sustainable, affordable and innovative services that support thriving communities.

We know we get better outcomes when we work in partnership with our customers, community and Traditional Owners. We need your help to shape our exciting next period of growth and transition, so that we can overcome complex challenges together.

We’re preparing for continued high population growth, increasing climate volatility and water scarcity, growing equity divides and technological advancements.

We want to work with you to plan for the future and ensure prosperity of the entire Barwon region - we’re stronger together.
