Between October 2018 and March 2019, Greater Western Water and Melbourne Water conducted two phases of community engagement as part of a planning process to develop an Integrated Water Management (IWM) Plan for Sunbury.

During this time, the Sunbury region shared their ideas about future water management for this growing region.

Thanks to everyone who has been participating in Sunbury's Water Future community engagements.

This initial, ‘wider engagement’ phase comprised of a community survey and a series of nine face-to-face community discussions (including targeted discussions, community workshops and one-on-one conversations). The survey contained questions centred around seven topics related to water management in Sunbury. The face-to-face sessions explored these topics in depth.

The ideas the community shared during this phase have played a vital role in understanding what matters to the community when it comes to water and our waterways, liveability and the environment

The results of this phase were collated and published in the Sunbury’s Water Future Wider Engagement (Phase 1) Report.

Sunbury's Water Future Community Panel

The community panel is meeting across May and June to explore and deliberate on future water management options for Sunbury. On the final day, the panel will present their recommendations to Melbourne Water and Western Water in a specially prepared report.
