This is an exciting time of growth for our region, and for Goulburn Valley Water as we chart an ambitious path to think water and beyond.
Water is a social and economic enabler – particularly for our region. We know we play a vital role underpinning regional growth and prosperity. We are working to build our infrastructure now to help us deliver the services of the future, in line with our Strategy 2035 vision to be more sustainable, resilient and prosperous.
We’ll continue exploring ways to support regional liveability – like our community recreational access projects at Dunyak Moira in Merrigum and Gawarn Baring at Trawool, as well as the suite of customer-led projects we’ll develop over the next few years.
But we also know our climate is changing – so we need to as well. This coming year we’ll begin work on two 5MW solar panel arrays on our sites to help sustainably power our operations. We have committed to sourcing all energy from renewable sources by 2025, and this will help meet our net-zero emissions by 2035 goal.
Adaptability in our planning, infrastructure and service delivery will also be key in ensuring we continue to deliver reliable services and help mitigate challenges like water quality and availability – now and into the future.
I’m excited to see what the next 12 months brings for our region.
