The current infrastructure provides protection to G-MW customers in the Loch Garry Flood Protection District during minor and moderate floods.
The regulator has served the district for over a century but is nearing the end of its expected lifespan within the next 20 years.
G-MW is considering different future management options for the regulator given its age, the growing risks of more frequent and intense floods, and substantial costs associated with a complete upgrade of the site.
G-MW general manager strategy and services planning Steven Abbott said there had been great community attendance at recent in-person drop-in sessions about the options.
“The Nathalia, Wyuna and Undera sessions were very well attended, with community members providing us helpful feedback about the different management options,” he said.
“But we’re eager to hear from those who missed these in-person sessions and that’s why we have set up several online ones.
“Community feedback from all these sessions will help shape the future management of Loch Garry.”
The online sessions will take place on Friday, September 12 and Monday, September 15 from 1pm to 2pm.
Loch Garry customers can register their interest to join one of the sessions on G-MW’s dedicated engagement platform: yoursay.gmwater.com.au/loch-garry-FSS
Links to join the sessions can also be found on the above webpage.
Feedback about the management options can also be submitted on the webpage and will close on Friday, September 19.
