RIVER managers are seeking local input into a masterplan to guide future management of the Barwon River.<\/p>\n

Corangamite Catchment Management Authority is managing the project on behalf of a host of state and local authorities, and advocacy groups.<\/p>\n

The masterplan is a key pillar of the state government’s Rivers of the Barwon Action Plan<\/a>, to which it committed $4.3 million last year.<\/p>\n

The masterplan project name is Kitjarra-dja-bul Bullarto langi-ut.<\/p>\n

Wadawurrung Traditional Owners picked the name, which translates to “place of many stories” in their language.<\/p>\n

It divides the region’s river system into three parts: the lower Moorabool to Batesford, the Barwon and Moorabool rivers through Geelong, and a southern zone that includes wetlands through to the Barwon estuary.<\/p>\n

Authorities have released a draft community vision for the river corridor: “The Kitjarra-dja-bul Bullarto langi-ut is a well \u2013 connected, diverse and healthy waterway landscape, that balances recreation, conservation, respect of place and culture, that also provides for everyday enjoyment of nature, community, liveability and wellbeing.”<\/p>\n

The survey will gauge community sentiment on the vision, plus the parts of the river that are most important or most loved and why, opportunities for greater access.<\/p>\n

Suggested improvements include improving community access to stretches of the river, maintaining and improving infrastructure, and linking the waterways with tourism and commercial opportunities.<\/p>\n

The existing feedback round is open until September 12 at the Engage Victoria website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Authorities will consider community comments later this year ahead of a draft masterplan to be released early next year for further consultation.<\/p>\n

The masterplan is due to be finalised by the end of March 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
