Declared Special Water Supply Catchments Areas in West Gipsland

Back to: Declared Special Water Supply Catchments Areas in Victoria

Many catchments supplying water for domestic, irrigation or other purposes within Victoria are protected under the Catchment and Land Protection Act 1994. These catchments have significant values as a source of water supply, both for domestic and for stock and domestic use. This information assists planners and those managing land disturbance or development activities to readily determine the suitability of proposed activities within these catchment areas. Once a catchment is 'Declared', approvals for activities conducted under other statutes and statutory planning schemes must be referred to the responsible land management authority (water authority, CMA or DELWP).
