The Council’s Peter Tonkes (Manager Water & Waste Water) met with the Douglas Shire Landscape Industry Group recently and presented a comprehensive Water Conservation & Demand Management Report. The DSRA were represented by Committee members John Sullivan and Russell Joshua who were encouraged by the Council’s plans to secure and manage water resources for the Shire with a proposed 1 GL increase in water storage during the dry season. Now is the time for Council to lobby Federal Government for Drought Water Security Funding and tap into the considerable underspend in grant funding available for this purpose.
