Description:

The Victorian Murray Floodplain Restoration Project (VMFRP) is an environmental initiative aimed at reviving over 13,000 hectares of wetlands and flood-dependent forests in Northern Victoria. ​ The project involves installing infrastructure to restore seasonal environmental flows to floodplains. ​ Recently renewed funding from the Commonwealth and Victorian Governments allows the VMFRP to complete planning approvals, engage with stakeholders, and finalize environmental assessments, but does not cover construction activities. ​ Key project sites include Gunbower National Park, Guttrum Benwell Forests, Vinifera Nyah, Belsar-Yungera, Hattah Lakes North, Lindsay Island, Wallpolla Island, and Burra Creek, with varying stages of progress and engagement with Traditional Owner groups. ​ For more details, visit the VMFRP Environmental Assessment Portal. ​
