Victoria's prosperity and attractiveness as a place to live,
work and do business depend on a secure water supply for residents,
businesses, farms and the environment. In November 2007, following
ten years of drought, Victoria's water storages were filled to only
26.6 per cent capacity, causing water restrictions across most of
the state.
This report examined how well the Department of Sustainability
and Environment had selected, prioritised and monitored water
infrastructure projects included within state-wide and regional
strategies. These strategies included the white paper, Securing
our Water Future Together, the Central Region sustainable
water strategy and the $4.9 billion Victorian water plan.
