What kind of rivers do we want for our communities now and into the future?
How important is a healthy river system and water quality for consumption, recreation, culture and well being, agriculture and tourism?
The wild places and cultural landscapes of our floodplain are unique and diverse, but with continuing pressures from extraction and climate change, they cannot be taken for granted.
The Water Act and the Basin Plan are our current framework for managing the Basin but is it succeeding? How do we ensure that the policy is fit for purpose and delivering for the whole community?
With the newly elected Federal government re committing to the Basin Plan it is a great time to come together to re imagine our rivers and better understand water policy together.
HOSTED BY SUSTAINABLE LIVING IN THE MALLEE AND FRIENDS OF NYAH VINIFERA PARK WITH ASSISTANCE FROM SWAN HILL RURAL CITY COUNCIL. LUNCH PROVIDED.
