Happy New Year everyone and welcome to our first VicWater Update for 2025.
We finished 2024 with the news that the Hon Gayle Tierney MP would be replacing the Hon Harriet Shing MP as Minister for Water. Minister Shing was a highly visible and engaged Minister during her two year tenure, and at VicWater we very much appreciated her personal support and encouragement for many of the collaborative and innovative projects that we are undertaking with and on behalf of our members.
