Water for Victoria In October 2016, Victoria released its latest long-term water strategy, entitled Water for Victoria. This plan provides a contemporary example of inclusive water management, both through its development and the resulting content, for example, through arrangements to support Aboriginal values and recreational values associated with Victoria’s waterways. The Victorian Government engaged many people in a consultative process to develop this strategy. According to its website, “The Water for Victoria discussion paper, published in March 2016, received 272 submissions. Over 700 people also contributed their ideas, knowledge and opinions on Victoria’s water priorities at 27 community and stakeholder workshops across Victoria in April 2016.” To fully incorporate Aboriginal values in water management, the Victoria government will do the following: • Recognise Aboriginal values and objectives of water • Include Aboriginal values and traditional ecological knowledge in water planning • Support Aboriginal access to water for economic development • Build capacity to increase Aboriginal participation in water management #kiniwater read more at: http://bit.ly/2fQYuww
