The East Gippsland Regional Waterway Strategy is a strategic plan that guides investment in waterway management activities over a ten-year period. The existing East Gippsland Regional Waterway Strategy 2014-2022 has now reached the end of its lifespan and a new strategy is required for our region.

The purpose of this strategy is to ensure that the future management of our waterways keeps providing these important environmental, social, cultural and economic values.

The Regional Waterway Strategy is guided by the Victorian Waterway Management Strategy (DEECA, 2013) which is also under renewal. New policies within the Victorian strategy will be reflected in the updated regional waterway strategies. All nine Catchment Management Authorities across the State are renewing their waterway strategies at the same time
