Eurobodalla Integrated Water Cycle Management Strategy

Eurobodalla Integrated Water Cycle Management Strategy
9 Local Water Management
Opportunities
9.1 Introduction
Eurobodalla Shire is comprised of 15 towns and villages. IWCM strategies have been
proposed for each town and village to address the local landscape, water services and
community issues.
Although community presentation and information sessions were undertaken as part of this
study process, it is generally accepted that these sessions were more regionally focused
and therefore were held at the major urban areas. Thus further consultation will be
undertaken at various villages to gain a greater focus on local issues and management
strategies before any option is selected as the preferred solution for the respective
community.
The ranking process used for the TBL assessment is based on scoring each integrated
option from 0-3. The score is based on the appropriateness of each option in achieving the
specified environmental, social and economic criteria, with 0 representing a poor outcome
and 3 representing the most appropriate option. Equal weighting is given to the
environmental, social and economic criteria.
It is important to note that the discrepancies in the data between dwelling numbers and onsite
sewerage systems is due to the data originating from two differing sources, namely the
ABS and Council’s Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The discrepancy can be
attributed to unregistered on-site systems and properties having more than one on-site
facility, and the ABS having collection districts different to the village areas.
