GVW: Dunyak-Moira (fishing lake) Project and the Trawool Walking Track

Steve Nash – Goulburn Valley Water Operations Manager –  will share his experience working on two inspiring projects in the greater Goulburn Valley Water area. Both projects create new opportunities in partnership with traditional owners. 

• Dunyak Moira Project – At Merrigum, GVW is transforming decommissioned raw water storages into new fishing spots through the Dunyak Moira (meaning Fishing Lake) project, making the ponds accessible to the whole community. GVW is working with the Burnanga Indigenous Fishing Club, which will manage stocking the fishing ponds and revegetating the site.

Trawool Walking track – This project is to create a walking track featuring local history and storytelling, and community fishing space at GVW’s retired Trawool reservoir, partnering with Taungurung Land and Waters Council. This project is creating opportunities for GVW and Traditional Owners to improve public recreation, and reimagine and reactivate an unused asset and improve waterway health.  (Source: GVW Draft UWS 2022 and  GVW Facebook)
