Goulburn Valley Water

Goulburn Valley Water supplies water to 54 towns from 37 supply systems and provides reticulated sewerage to 30 regional towns via 26 wastewater management facilities. Bulk water supply is principally from the Goulburn/Broken, Murray, Steavenson, Rubicon and Delatite River systems and a number of smaller local streams such as Sunday Creek and Seven Creeks. The Goulburn Valley region is known as 'the food bowl of Australia'​. The Corporation services major companies operating food processing plants in the region that require large volumes of high quality water and their wastewater streams create unique environmental challenges. The Corporation directly employs over 200 people in operational, financial and administrative roles. This workforce is complemented by partnerships with consultants and contractors to undertake a range of business, technical and operational functions.
