Being a Good Neighbour

Coliban Water has developed a ‘Good Neighbour’ Strategy, as an essential element in Coliban Water’s overarching Environmental Policy, where we aim to manage facilities and land in a manner that demonstrates good environmental stewardship and minimises adverse environmental impacts. 

Coliban Water’s Good Neighbour Strategy contributes to the demonstration of the Authority’s ‘duty of care’ to the wider community on managing environmental issues that exist on Coliban-owned land to prevent any adverse environmental impacts on adjacent land.

Taking a ‘good neighbour’ approach to investing in environmental management works will ensure a more targeted and effective investment strategy for land management that works to maximise the benefits of control as well as to create a shared sense of stewardship in the environmental, economic and social values of our land.  The Strategy has 4 key focus areas; pest management/control; protecting air quality, noise management; and general facility and land management.
