Following the October 2022 floods, the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) undertook a technical assessment to determine if changing the operating and infrastructure arrangements at Lake Eppalock could improve protection for downstream communities from future flooding.
The Lake Eppalock Technical Assessment report was released in November 2023, and DEECA is now seeking feedback to better understand the benefits and negative impacts of the options investigated as part of the assessment.
Feedback is encouraged from all members of the community - Traditional Owners and groups, irrigators, downstream residents, recreational users and upstream landholders.
For more information and to complete the 15-minute survey, go to the Engage Victoria website.
DEECA will also hold face-to-face sessions at the locations listed below if you wish to find out more information or have any queries.
Individuals or small groups are invited to book in for these sessions and you will be allocated a half an hour time slot where you can talk and ask questions to the project team.
A full list of these sessions is available at the Engage Victoria website.
