The Flood Management Strategy Port Phillip and Westernport 2021–2031 was co-designed with local government and key agencies. During the strategy’s development, it was identified that councils have different levels of skills and expertise in flood management. There is an opportunity for Melbourne Water to facilitate and share knowledge and expertise within the industry.
