On this page
Rosters and restrictions on diversions from unregulated streams.
At the end of July, diversions from a total of 130 unregulated streams and lakes across the state were subject to some form of restriction. This is slightly greater than at the same time last year when 118 streams were on restriction.
- In northern Victoria, Goulburn-Murray Water reduced restrictions on; eight streams in the Goulburn basin, two streams in the King basin, and one stream in the Mitta, Kiewa and Ovens basins.
- Bans on diversions from all unregulated streams in the GWMWater region remained in force.
- In southern Victoria, Melbourne Water introduced restrictions on the the Woori Yallock Creek catchments. Southern Rural Water reduced restrictions on Mt Emu Creek and lifted restrictions on; eight streams in the Western Zone, one stream in the Central Zone and one stream in the Gippsland Zone.
