A new toolkit is now available to culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities across Melbourne’s west to learn and explore their local waterways.
Water Minister Harriet Shing today launched the Waterways of the West CALD Engagement Toolkit which provides step-by-step solutions and resources for engaging and educating CALD communities about the waterways in Melbourne’s west.
The toolkit was co-designed with local councils, migrant community groups and Wadawurrung Traditional Owners.
“The Waterways of the West CALD Engagement Toolkit will help strengthen the ability of CALD communities to shape the future of the Waterways of the West, enjoy their abundant benefits, and continue to care for them,” said Kororoit MP Luba Grigorovitch
Waterways of the west is part of the state government’s $17 million investment towards improving Victoria’s urban waterways.
The Waterways of the West Action Plan is a five-year plan to improve the health, amenity and sustainability of the waterways of Melbourne’s west – including addressing waterway pollution, stronger land use planning and development controls to protect landscapes and guard against inappropriate development.
