GMW is calling for expressions of interest for a Loch Garry Reference Committee that will review the service requirements of the Loch Garry Flood Protection District infrastructure and its operating rules.

Situated at Bunbartha, the Loch Garry Flood Protection District infrastructure provides protection from minor to moderate flooding for downstream landowners. The Loch Garry regulator is opened during larger events, to allow flood flows to follow their natural course.

The Loch Garry Flood Protection Operating Rules outline how GMW manages the regulator.

It will provide guidance on the future service requirements and operation of the Loch Garry infrastructure.

The Loch Garry Reference Committee will be made up of Loch Garry Flood Protection customers, community representatives, Traditional Owners and nominated agencies.

GMW Incident & Recovery general manager Peter Clydesdale said he was eager to see expressions of interest from a diverse range of community members to participate in this important review.

“We want to ensure all opinions are heard,” he said.

“While the Loch Garry Reference Committee will drive the review, all interested customers and community members will have the opportunity to give feedback on the service requirements of Loch Garry and its operating rules.”
