Environment Victoria and the Environment Defenders Office
invite you to the launch of
Environment Victoria’s report
‘Bringing the Victorian Water Act into the 21st Century’
The Victorian Water Act has been around since the 1880s and provides secure water supplies for agriculture and for our towns and cities. But it doesn’t provide the same security for the state’s rivers and groundwater, which have become stressed and degraded. Come and hear about our recommendations to improve the Act to provide greater security and reliability for environmental water, so that we can rescue our rivers and return them to health.
What?
Hear from Environment Victoria and EDO about why reform of the Act is necessary and the changes we propose to provide a legal basis for protecting river health. The report will be launched by Prof Lee Godden, Director of the Centre for Resources, Energy and Environmental Law at Melbourne University.
