Restrictions on Diversions - September 2007
On this page
Rosters and restrictions on diversions from unregulated streams
At the end of September, diversions from a total of 112 streams and lakes across the State were subject to some form of restriction (compared with 68 at the end of September 2006).
Changes in restriction status in northern Victoria reflected the diminishing streamflows in the region. Goulburn-Murray Water introduced irrigation bans for 2 streams in the Mitta catchment and 1 stream in both the Goulburn and Campaspe catchments.
Bans on diversions from all unregulated streams in the Grampians Wimmera Mallee Water region remain in force.
In southern Victoria, Melbourne Water introduced an irrigation ban for Woori Yallock Creek and lifted restrictions for Darebin Creek and Mullum Mullum Creek.
