Gippsland Lakes Future Directions

In 2002 the State Government released the Gippsland Lakes Future Directions and Actions Plan - a vision for restoring the long-term health of the Lakes system.

The Plan aims to reduce nutrient levels entering the Lakes by 40 percent by 2022.

The Plan address five key areas:

1. reducing nutrient levels entering the Lakes;

2. balancing freshwater and salt water flows;

3. maintaining wetlands biodiversity;

4. increasing community awareness and participation, and

5. continued planning and evaluation of the program's effectiveness.

Between 2002 - 2006, the State Government allocated $12.8 million into projects and a further $6M from June 2006 - June 2009.
