Exciting News! Starting Monday 4 September 2023, our phone lines will be open from 8:30am, allowing you to reach us before 9am.
Government water reform has reduced the amount of water available in the Goulburn Murray irrigation district, which includes Moira Shire, with previous water buy backs reducing water usage by 50% and irrigated agriculture jobs by 40%. The Commonwealth Government is now considering intervening again and buying more water from landowners. Any further buy backs within the Moira Shire will reduce the long term viability of our irrigation industries and our irrigation infrastructure managed by Goulburn Murray Water. Consultation closed on July 3, but you can still submit your idea. However it cannot be guaranteed that your idea will be received in time to incorporate into the "What we heard" report.
