Throughout the Water Efficiency Project (WEP), the team consulted with landowners on proposed changes that would affect their existing service.
To deliver this work, reconfiguration plans were developed for channels across the Goulburn-Murray Irrigation District. These reconfiguration plans were key to the project’s success and could not have been delivered without the involvement of landowners, who worked closely with the project in developing these plans.
Landowner Engagement for WEP was guided by an eight-step Landowner Engagement Process that ensured a successful working relationship between the Project Team and landowners. This relationship has directly contributed to the successful delivery of WEP.
Many of the works completed under WEP were advocated for by the community. The close relationships forged by working with the community to deliver these works is an important and enduring legacy of the Project.
