Dive in and say what you think

A new master plan for publicly accessible mineral springs is being prepared by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP), which wants to hear from the community.

In particular, DELWP wants to hear what the community values most about Victoria’s mineral springs, which springs are your favourite and why, how you know where they are located, and how you consume, collect, and store mineral water.

There are 39 mineral springs open to the public in Victoria, including at Ballan Mineral Springs Reserve, Blackwood Mineral Springs & Tourist Camp Reserve, and Spargo Creek Mineral Springs Reserve.

Feedback will inform the new 10-year master plan, ensuring mineral springs are managed in a way that benefits regional tourism, and supports Traditional Owner aspirations for self-determination.

The mineral springs are located on Dja Dja Wurrung, Wadawurrung, and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country, with the majority concentrated within the Central Highlands region around the Daylesford/Hepburn areas.

DELWP encourages the community to fill out the Community Survey before 10 July, at www.engage.vic.gov.au/mineral-springs-masterplan.

The master plan 2023-2032 is expected to be completed by December this year.
