Unlike the other desalination plants, ours will not be in an industrial site

This is how our site could look like.
Super imposing of the imposed desalination plant.
We did try to get an answer from the DSE about how it will look like, but were told, that they weren’t allowed to say due to the fact that it is going to be a PPP!

This article by Tony Cutcliffe in The Age still says it all!

Please read Tony Cutcliffe’s (yes, he was one of our great speakers at our first forum in Wonthaggi Follow up of Forum from 3rd September) article in the Age.

And let us repeat his invitation to come down here to see it for yourself. Even if the State Government can’t manage, maybe you can….
be bothered, please be!

Your Water Your Say - Bringing Back Democracy

The year is 2007 A.D. Australia, so it seems, is entirely occupied by advocates for desalination. Well, not entirely!! One small village of indomitable Environmentalists still holds out against the invaders. And life will not be easy for the Melbournian legionaries, who garrison the fortified camps of the Department of Premier and Cabinet, the Ministry for Water, Environment and Climate Change and the Multi National Corporations…

Your Water Your Say is an independent Action Group who wants to bring democracy back to our Government’s decision making process.

All future water provision in Victoria should be achieved through environmentally sustainable means and therefore desalination is rejected as an option for Melbourne’s water management issues.

Your Water Your Say aim to give a voice to the Victorian community of concerned citizens who oppose the construction of a desalination plant to solve Melbourne’s water management issues.
