Winter works to deliver benefits
Goulburn-Murray Water’s winter works program has started.
During this time, G-MW undertakes key maintenance works on its water delivery network including its channels, pipelines and regulators.
A focus of this year’s program is repairing and remodelling channel banks, which will improve water delivery and flow.
This year’s winter works will focus on improving G-MW’s existing assets to maintain reliability and future service.
This includes replacing or rehabilitating a number of ageing culverts, syphons and bridges.
The program will also include about 70km of channel desilting works and the removal of weeds from a further 300km.
Locust alert. Report activity now
Agriculture Victoria is urging land holders and land managers to report locust activity to support reducing the risk of damaging infestations this spring.
Adult locusts are active in north-west Victoria following favourable conditions, with numbers above usual levels for this time of year.
Adult locusts will lay eggs during May and into June, which will remain dormant over winter and hatch in spring if rainfall conditions are favourable.
Early intervention such as treating hoppers before they can fly is critical. Identifying potential egg laying sites will help plan for targeted management of the hoppers following hatching in spring.
You can report locusts using the online locust reporting form www.agriculture.vic.gov.au/reportlocusts or by calling the exotic plant pest hotline on 1800 084 881.
