  • 2Protecting Our Rivers and Aquifers
    1 The Strategy at a Regional Level Chapter Two 2 Protecting our Rivers and Aquifers This chapter outlines the Government’s action plan to protect and improve the health of rivers, estuaries and aquifers. The initiatives apply to the whole Central Region. Local actions are outlined in Chapter 4. In protecting and improving the health of the region’s rivers, it is essential to: • preserve the environment’s existing share of water • use this existing water for the environment more efficiently • increase the amount of water for the environment where it is not sufficient • undertake complementary works (such as revegetation of the streamside zone) to maximise the river health benefits of increasing environmental flows • manage the impacts of low inflows and climate change. Protecting our rivers The Government is committed to improving the health of Victoria’s There are many Aboriginal and other sites of significance associated rivers, floodplains and estuaries. These natural assets support with rivers and creeks. Aboriginal people have a strong social, cultural industry, tourism and recreation, and are highly valued by people and spiritual connection to the land and water. This Strategy, together who live and work around them. with the Regional River Health Strategies, will assist in ensuring that Protecting the health of our rivers ensures that the drinking rich Aboriginal heritage values will be protected and interpreted to water we extract from them is of a high quality. allow others to understand the Aboriginal communities’ significant cultural connection between land and water. The Regional River Rivers are also highly significant ecosystems in their own right.

We remove and spray weeds, cut grass and plant native trees and shrubs. What we have done Why We plant native trees and shrubs along waterways to provide habitat for birds and animals. Revegetating waterways and replacing weeds 4 km Revegetation with native plants prevents erosion and improves water quality. Introduced and noxious weeds can choke waterways and take over 60 km Weed control from plants that provide healthy habitats for birds and animals.
