Wimmera CMA

About

The Victorian Government established the Wimmera CMA in July 1997 as the peak natural resource management body, in the Wimmera, to develop and oversee the implementation of the Regional Catchment Strategy in an integrated and sustainable manner. Our prime responsibilities are the health of land and water in the catchment region and promoting sustainable and productive land use practices. This is achieved through local programs that identify and address improvements in the region’s natural assets. We have responsibilities under the CaLP Act 1994 with respect to pests, plants and animals, and land management and we also have statutory functions under the Water Act 1989 with respect to waterway, floodplain, and regional drainage management. Our work force of approximately 30 Staff and Community Board work in partnership with the Wimmera community and a range of organisations and stakeholders to protect and enhance the condition of the region’s natural resources.
