I really enjoy supporting VicWater programs and as we come to the end of 2024, it is wonderful to reflect on 2024 and what has been achieved. I am grateful to the people who are involved in our programs who exemplify the better together ethos. Stay safe and well across the Christmas period and enjoy one too many mince pies!
