The Central and Gippsland Sustainable Water Strategy provides a once in a decade opportunity to reset policy around around rivers like the Moorabool. PALM people were involved in the original strategy over a decade ago and know how important it is for community voices are heard through the process. Unfortunately those community voices have only been meaningfully included very late in the predraft stage. People for A Living Moorabool along with other community groups have sought to secure a more robust consultation framework going forward. 

The Central and Gippsland Water Strategy is a high level document which will hopefully include a pathway for returning to the Moorabool River vital flows to secure a future for it and the ecosystems it supports.

People for A Living Moorabool have directed a series of questions to the DELWP team:

UPDATE
 
Taking the brief window afforded to them the Geelong Landcare Network was able to secure a second screening of the film the River Moorabool this time at the Bannockburn Civic Centre on the 16th August 2021.
 
Having made up their minds to confirm it with less than a week to go they managed to once again deliver a full house.
 
Congratulations to the whole team.
 

People for a Living Moorabool are among a group of community organisations who have collectively released a Joint Statement on the Central and Gippsland Sustainable Water Strategy.

Last night on the 26th of June a capacity crowd attended the Ballarat Mechanics Institute's Hall to watch the premier of the film “the River Moorabool”.
