PG 1 Coliban Water Annual Report 2005–06 CHAIRMAN & CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORT Two key projects have been fast-tracked to respond to the ongoing drought. A pipeline link from the Goulburn system to Lake Eppalock was chosen as the best solution to obtain water from outside our region. It will cost an estimated $75 M and planning commenced immediately following the project announcement in May. The other key project is a pipeline from the Bendigo Water Reclamation Plant in Epsom to Spring Gully Reservoir which will allow us to use recycled water for public gardens, sporting grounds, rural irrigation and for passing flows to save water currently used from our drinking water supply. The ongoing challenges facing our region are: • the continuing drought; • stresses on the River Murray and its tributaries such as the Coliban, Campaspe and Loddon Rivers, and the likely drying of our catchments with climate change; • accelerating population growth in our major regional centres, particularly along the Calder Corridor and Murray River with new connections continuing at unprecedented levels; and • increasing demands on our water resources associated with regional growth and development. This growth is supported by the Victorian Government through a range of initiatives but in particular from a water perspective through its 2004 White Paper ‘Securing Our Water Future Together’, the ‘Bendigo Regional Action Gordon McKern, Chairman, and Plan’, launched in September 2005, which focuses on Geoff Michell, Chief Executive. Water Policy implementation in our immediate district, and partial funding of the Goulburn Campaspe Link and the Bendigo Recycled Water project.

Landscape, people and economy This chapter provides a brief description of the landscape, people and economic drivers in the water resource plan areas. Working rivers The rivers of these water resource plan areas provide many environmental, economic, and social benefits for Victorian communities. Most of northern Victoria’s rivers have been modified from their natural state to varying degrees. These modifications have affected hydrologic regimes, physical form, riparian vegetation, water quality and instream ecology. Under the Basin Plan it is not intended that these rivers and streams be restored to a pre-development state, but that they are managed as ‘working rivers’ with agreed sustainable levels of modification and use and improved ecological values and functions. 3.1 Features of Victorian Murray water resource plan area The Victorian Murray water resource plan area covers a broad range of aquatic environments from the highlands streams in the far east, to the floodplains and wetlands of the Murray River in the far west of the state. There are several full river systems in the water resource plan area, including the Kiewa and Mitta Mitta rivers. Other rivers that begin in different water resource plan areas converge with the River Murray in the Victorian Murray water resource plan area. There are a significant number of wetlands in this area, these wetlands are managed by four catchment management authorities (CMAs): North East, Goulburn Broken, North Central and Mallee and their respective land managers. The Victorian Murray water resource plan area extends from Omeo in the far east of Victoria to the South Australian border in the north west of the state.
