Bushlinks cordially invites you to an evening of shared views.

We will be holding a community forum devoted to widening the debate on an environmentally sustainable water supply for our region over the next 50 -100 years.

Three keynote speakers will sketch different points of view. There will also be plenty of time for airing your views.

Close and Supper

We would welcome your input as an important ‘player’ in water in Central Victoria.  Please extend this invitation to other interested people.

We anticipate good community participation and free exchange of views and questions.

We do not have the solutions, but as a community we have to equip ourselves with the knowledge and awareness to make decisions about water use in the future.

Spotlight on Water is about broadening our views and knowledge base, learning, clarifying issues and asking questions. It is part of community consultation. Please be part of this evening.
