Goulburn-Murray Water asks people to have right licence for works on GMW-owned land

GMW's occupation licence covers landscaping, vegetation management, and construction and repairs of structures such as jetties and boat ramps.

GMW Flood and Recovery general manager Daniel Irwin said it was important people obtained the necessary licences before starting works on GMW land.

"We understand the recent floods have meant many people in our region wish to replace or undertake significant repairs on private recreational infrastructure on GMW land," he said.

"In addition to storing water for customers, our storages provide various recreational opportunities for communities and landholders.

"Our licensing process ensures any works on GMW land are safe and do not impact other users' enjoyment of the storage, so it is crucial that anyone who thinks they might need a licence applies for one."
