Description:
The Victorian water sector is leading in:* Climate Action and Emissions Reduction: Victoria's water corporations will be some of the first in the world to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 – and they will do so largely through direct action rather than carbon offsetting.
* Traditional Owner Self-determination: The Victorian Government is committed to Aboriginal self-determination. Water is Life: Traditional Owner Access to Water Roadmap establishes a pathway to increasing Traditional Owner self-determination and decision-making in water management.
* Gender Equality: 57% of directors of water corporation boards are women.
The Victorian Government is committed to increasing diversity on water sector boards to encourage new ideas and reflect the rich diversity of the Victorian community.
Victoria's water corporations provide bulk water, urban water, sewerage, rural water and drainage services to customers within their defined geographical service area. Each water corporation board has a maximum of eight directors including the Chairperson, plus the Managing Director of the water corporation who is appointed by the board.
