Presenter: Jesse Rose, Director Water Entitlements, Licensing and Modelling, Water Resource Division , Water and Catchments Group, DEECA
Abstract: In this presentation Jesse will introduce the audience to Groundwater Management 2030 (GM2030). As we look towards a hotter, drier future with climate change, we need to ensure that we have a groundwater licensing and management framework to serve us well into the future.GM2030 was launched in August 2022 and is a statement of priorities for the next seven years. It is the Victorian water sector’s commitment to strong groundwater management that can adjust to meet opportunities and challenges as water use and industry transform in the future. Jesse will provide an overview of the three key outcomes we expect to achieve from GM2030 and the underlying 13 priority areas we will be focusing on. Feedback is being received GM2030 right up until the end of the year, should feedback from key stakeholders identify a need to adjust priorities or timelines for delivery, GM2030 will be updated to reflect this. There is an opportunity for interested parties to get involved in GM2030 and influence groundwater management in Victoria. Jesse will close out the presentation with a discussion on how IAH members would like to be involved in GM2030 going forward.
