It is noteworthy that for the first time an acknowledgement is contained in the Strategic Plan of developing a wellness culture as well as continuing to provide a high level of care. The adoption as a core value of social justice objectives is also worthy of note.

  • Friends of Latrobe Water
    26th August 2020 National Water Reform 2020 Productivity Commission Lodgement online at [email protected] Dear Commissioners RE: National Water Reform Inquiry - Submission from Friends of Latrobe Water Friends of Latrobe Water (FLoW) welcomes this opportunity to provide input to the Productivity Commission to assist with its review of National Water Reform. FLoW advocates for the protection of Latrobe Valley’s water sources and safeguarding the protection of the Gippsland Lakes from industry activities, including coal mine rehabilitation and coal ash contamination. Threats include – • Declining water flows • Changes in flows • Overallocation of water sources • Priority sharing of water resources In consideration of the Commission’s 2017 recommendations that jurisdictions recommit to a renewed NWI, FLoW has concerns with, • policy settings for alternative water sources in entitlement and planning frameworks • other policy settings relating to: – urban water management – environmental water management – decision-making on building and supporting new infrastructure. In context to the regional area of Gippsland in Victoria, alignment of water policy on a statewide basis is challenging due to the dominance and current governance of mining in the Latrobe Valley in Gippsland’s central west. This has resulted in substantial impacts to water flow, quality and chemistry to all other beneficial users downstream including environmental water health. In responding to the Issues Paper on the scope of this inquiry FLoW will also address, • emerging challenges faced by Governments, water providers and water users, such as climate change or changes in economic circumstances • the interaction of water policy with other areas (such as land use planning and urban development) • the impacts of climate change on water resources • the provision of reliable water services to regional and remote communities • the principles to be satisfied for any Government investment in major water infrastructure.
