Two community consultation groups will work with the North Central Catchment Management Authority (CMA) and Goulburn-Murray Water on the Gunbower Forest Watering and Willow management projects following a public meeting in Leitchville this week.
Member for Rodney, Paul Weller chaired the meeting in response to community concerns regarding the projects.
Minister for Water, the Hon. Peter Walsh, North Central CMA Chief Executive, Damian Wells and representatives from Goulburn-Murray Water, and Murray Darling Basin Authority were in attendance and took the opportunity to listen to public concerns and address comments from the audience.
“Over 90 people attended the meeting with plenty of robust discussion”, Mr Weller said.
Mr Wells said the two community consultation groups will be vital in the success of the projects and builds on previous community engagement activities.
“We are looking forward to working with the community groups and encourage interested community members to become involved. Local knowledge and experience is important.”
