The Southern Wimmera and Northeast Pyrenees Water Supply Project will investigate whether a permanent ‘fit for purpose’ water supply can be provided to communities Northeast of the Pyrenees Ranges, and between Stawell and St Arnaud Victoria.

The investigations will involve an area of close to 354,000 hectares and engage with farmers, wineries, accommodation providers, traditional owners, government agencies, service providers, townships and recreation groups to determine their long-term water needs.
