Communication and Community Consultation

The Living Murray communications and consultation program aims to:

• ensure that individuals and groups who are likely to be impacted upon or materially interested in activities have adequate opportunity to input into decisions affecting them
• ensure that all relevant information and a diversity of views are considered in the decision-making process
• increase awareness, understanding of and support for The Living Murray.

In addition to The Living Murray Community Reference Group, community consultation is undertaken at each of The Living Murray icon sites.

Icon site consultation reference groups have been established to provide local advice on issues related to the development and implementation of each icon site management plan. These groups also provide advice on consultation with regional and local groups that have an interest in the management of each site.

In the development of each icon site management plan, input is also sought from Indigenous communities through the establishment of localised Indigenous reference groups. Consultation with Indigenous people takes an inclusive approach by giving appropriate respect to the knowledge and views of traditional owners.
