environmental water management framework Place your logo here Ovens River (NECMA) Victorian environmental water management framework BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA | 18 - 20 SEPTEMBER 2017 MANAGED BY

Drivers for environmental water river regulation and modification drought competing needs Wimmera River at Horseshoe Bend, June 2007 (Wimmera CMA)

Environmental water outcomes legislation policy partners Eastern long-necked turtle hatchling, Opie’s Dam, Wimmera Mallee Wetlands (Rakali Consulting)

Legislation (pre-cursor to change - White Paper Our Water Our Future 2004) Victorian Water Act 1989: Environmental Water Reserve (2005) Victorian Environmental Water Holder (2011) Commonwealth Water Act 2007 - Basin Plan 2012

Policy Sustainable Water Strategies (2006-2011) - water sharing arrangements / water entitlement framework Victorian Waterway Management Strategy (2013) - framework elaborated Water for Victoria (2016) - commitments / actions confirmed & also emphasised ‘shared benefits’ of e-watering (leading to some new legislative changes) management of e-water under climate change

Water Entitlement Framework Provides equal security for all entitlement holders, regardless of how water used (environment, irrigation, urban, etc.) Sets out arrangements to share water in all years, including severe drought Limits on entitlements protect reliability (‘caps’) Annual process to allocate water Ability for trade and carryover in some systems Surface & groundwater / reg & unreg systems

Environmental Water Reserve Ibis at Lake Boort (North Central CMA) Environmental Water Reserve Held environmental entitlements (VEWH) Obligations on entitlements (passing flows) Above cap water Regulated and unregulated systems

designated waterway manager for a region, set priorities & objectives Partners legislation, policy, investment (water & ewater) DELWP VEWH hold & manage environmental water entitlements designated waterway manager for a region, set priorities & objectives CMAs entitlement storage and delivery Water corporations

Guiding Principles Integrated waterway management Maximise efficiency & seek multiple benefits Transparent & sound decision-making Be prepared for future conditions Managed (not natural) systems

Planning Regional Waterway Strategies CMAs – regional scale - prioritise waterways for environmental works Environmental Water Management Plans CMAs – waterway scale - long-term objectives for e-water Seasonal Watering Proposal CMAs – waterway/system scale – annual e-water requirements Seasonal Watering Plan VEWH – statewide/system scale – annual plan to use holdings Delivery

MER for adaptive management Intervention / statewide monitoring programs rivers (VEFMAP) and wetlands (WetMAP) Event and other individual CMA monitoring (e.g. photo points) Indices of Condition (streams, wetlands, estuaries) every 8+ years Annual reporting – VEWH Reflections on use of held e- water, VEFMAP and WetMap on monitoring results

Future challenges & improvements Climate change / drought refuges / landscape objectives Basin Plan Adequate monitoring for adaptive management Alternative water sources Shared benefits
