East Gippsland CMA
The East Gippsland Catchment Management region is comprised of 2.2 million hectares of land, lakes and coastal waters out to 5.5 kilometres, in the easternmost part of Victoria, Australia.
The region contains a Ramsar listed wetland system (Gippsland Lakes and Lake Tyers), six declared Heritage Rivers, and many national parks and reserves. A large proportion (83%) of the region is public land, stretching from sub-alpine environments to the coast.
Our Future Vision
We are leaders in integrated catchment management, partnering with our communities to enhance East Gippsland’s landscapes, biodiversity and cultural heritage.
