Integrated Water Management

Western Water is committed to collaborative water planning and management in our region. This aims to ensure water is managed holistically, and values and benefits are shared across multiple responsible organisations to achieve the best outcomes for the community and environment.

We are supporting integrated water management (IWM) through:

• Strategic Directions Statements can now be viewed for these IWM Forums: Maribyrnong, Werribee and Coliban.

Regional scale collaborative planning

• Sunbury Integrated Water Management Project
• Western Irrigation Network
