The IPWEAvic Murray-Goulburn Regional Group met in Mildura on Friday 24 May 2013.
Jon Aujard from Campaspe Shire gave a comprehensive report on the progress of the Campaspe Shires Rural Road Review.
Gary Healy from Mildura Shire presented The Mildura Riverfront Development Project which aims to connect the town to the river. Stage one of the project is a $13.3M project along 1.2km of river frontage and is to be led by the Mildura Rural City Council. The group was then taken on a bus tour to view the river redevelopment project.
The second project viewed by the group was the new Mildura Arts Centre Theatre. The group was spoilt by a thorough guided tour of the facility showing all aspects from the stage lighting system up in the gantry to the under floor heating/cooling systems under the building.
And for the record – the facility does not have a resident theatre ghost as yet!

David Goldie, Infrastructure Operations Manager, Greater City of Geelong will present on Stormwater Harvesting – Geelong’s Plan
Date: Friday 14th June 2013
Time: 12noon till 1:30pm
Place: City of Greater Geelong, City Hall, Conference Centre, Lt Mallop St, 30 Gheringhap Street, Geelong
The City of Greater Geelong faces a considerable challenge to manage water resources. The City has in excess of 17,000ha of open space distributed throughout 466 parks. These numbers are set to increase, with a 10-year population growth prediction in excess of 100,000 people in the identified growth areas of Armstrong Creek, Fyansford, Highton, Lara, Leopold and Clifton Springs. As a result of water restrictions and the subsequent development of Council’s Sustainable Water Use Plan (SWUP) a series of stormwater harvesting projects were developed in partnership with the Australian Government through the National Urban Water and Desalination Plan. 4 out of the 5 projects developed have been delivered.
David will present the “Geelong experience” and share the project results, outcomes delivered to the community and project issues encountered along the way.
