Avalon Corridor Integrated Water Management Plan March 2024

This study focuses on the land within the City of Greater Geelong municipality and aims to
develop an Integrated Water Management Plan (IWMP) for this area.

The Avalon Corridor IWMP will:

  • Examine options for servicing the future GAEP and nearby agricultural properties. The options will have a particular focus on secure and sustainable alternate water supplies.
  • Study options for managing potential stormwater runoff impacts from industrial and commercial development on sensitive ecosystems such as the adjacent Port Phillip Bay (Western Shoreline) RAMSAR wetland site.
  • Review opportunities to enhance environmental and cultural values associated with local waterways and landscapes while investigating the delivery of cultural flows as the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation deem appropriate.
  • Align with relevant State Government frameworks and policies related to IWM including the Barwon Strategic Direction Statement.
