It flows over 160kms through varied landscapes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Barwon Flagship project brings together efforts by local landholders, key agencies and community groups over time to change the way we manage riparian land \u2013 the land or vegetation that adjoins the river,&#8221; Ms Leith said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By focusing on the upper river, we aim to improve waterway health and in the long term enable the delivery of an increased environmental water entitlement, ultimately leading to improvements to flow and health in the river downstream where it flows through Geelong and out to sea.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Together we are working towards a well-connected, healthy and accessible river and wetland corridor that supports fish and platypus populations, a river that continues to be a treasured place for locals and visitors to enjoy now and into the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Barwon Flagship Waterway Management Plan sets out the required activities, targeted outcomes, roles and responsibilities, and outlines how planned works, events and achievements will be communicated annually.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, head to <a href=\"http:\/\/ccma.vic.gov.au\">ccma.vic.gov.au<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A PLAN setting the strategic direction for the management and protection of the Barwon River for the next three decades has been released.
