Have Your Say - Victorian Waterways
Catchment Management Authorities across Victoria are partnering with the Department of Sustainability and Environment on the Victorian River Health Social Benchmarking project. This project will build upon our waterway managers’ understanding of community expectations, attitudes, and behaviours towards waterway management.
A SHORT 15 MINUTE ON-LINE SURVEY
The survey is part of this world-first research project looking at the social importance of lakes, rivers, creeks, wetlands and estuaries. The project will build strongly upon Victorian waterway managers’ knowledge of community expectations, attitudes and behaviours towards waterways and their management.
The results of the survey and research will be used to inform waterway management practices and policy, including the Victorian Strategy for the Health of Rivers, Estuaries and Wetlands, currently being developed to replace the 2002 Victorian River Health Strategy.
GATHERING DATA ABOUT VICTORIA'S WATERWAYS
Victoria University and Queensland University of Technology (QUT) are running the survey and analysing the results, the My Victorian Waterway Survey is open to all adults in the State during June and July 2009. The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete and the information you provide is anonymous.
PASS IT ON
In order to provide robust data as part of this project, the completion of surveys from each region across Victoria is required. It is our aim to circulate the survey as broadly as possible throughout Victoria, so please feel free to notify others of this opportunity.
