Nillumbik Council Sustainable Water Management Plan

The purpose of the Sustainable Water Management Plan is to provide a strategic direction for improved water management throughout Council operations and the Nillumbik community. The most significant outcomes of this Plan are Council’s water reduction targets for both corporate operations and within the community. Council aims to achieve a 45% reduction in reticulated water use (from 2000-2001 levels) by 2010-2011 and is working towards achieving a community water reduction target of 25% (from 2000-2001 levels) by 2010-2011. Since 2000, Council has already achieved a 35% reduction in its own water use, while the community has achieved a 20% reduction. Council will work towards completing actions detailed in this Plan to ensure that set targets are met.
