In 2004 the first draft Goulburn Broken Regional River Health Strategy was developed to combine all elements of river management under one umbrella document. The strategy integrates waterway programs into a framework and considers water quality, flow, wetlands, in-stream and riparian flora and fauna, fisheries and recreation.
Improving the health of our rivers is also a key objective of the Victorian Government’s "Our Water Our Future" action plan, an innovative strategy to enable smarter water use and management across the State. As part of this plan, the Victorian Government has committed $940,000 to the "Improving Flow and Habitat in the Broken River" project.
Bringing Back the Broken
Underpinned by both strategies, this multi-partner project is a strategic and integrated approach that will deliver river restoration works based on previous activities carried out along the Broken River by the GBCMA and affiliated agencies.
This project will ultimately help "Bring Back the Broken", and enable the river to be improved in quality for current and future generations.
