Support with FPH obligations

WaterNSW have offered to assist members who are Floodplain Harvesting customers to better understand their obligations under the NSW FPH Policy.

WaterNSW have offered informal one on one sessions, by appointment so that each customer can discuss their specific concern and queries, and address any issues that may exist. This is a practical step by WaterNSW to try and help ensure everyone is ready to go when we get the next FPH opportunity.

The planning is for the week of the 20 July either in Moree (at the GVIA office) or possibly at other sites if needed.

Please contact gvia@gvia.org.au to arrange a meeting. Please include details as shown below such as Registration of Interest (ROI’s) and Work Approvals so we can start to plan sessions. 

Please register by the end of the week 3 July Thank you

The MDBLP brings together people from across the Basin who are ready to work beyond their own interests and contribute to strengthening understanding of how the Basin’s water resources are managed. 
This is a leadership experience designed for people who care about the future of the Basin and the communities, industries and water dependent ecosystems it supports.

You will join a diverse cohort of people from across regions, sectors and backgrounds.

Together, you will build the skills, relationships and mindset to work through complexity, navigate difference and take action where it matters most. This includes engaging your communities, supporting informed dialogue about water use, and helping educate Australians about the Basin’s water resources and the pressures they face .

GVIA Celebrates 30 years

This month we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the creation of the GVIA following a motion from July 1995 proposing to bring the irrigation associations of Biniguy / Moree Water Users' Association, Carole/Gill Gill Water Users' Association, Copeton / Biniguy Spray Irrigators' Association, Gwydir Co-operative Ltd and the Mehi / Moomin Water Users' Association together to form the Gwydir Valley Irrigators Association. The intention was to "employ and take any necessary action to promote the interests of the irrigators in the Gwydir Valley."
