> The Coliban System
We manage three major supply reservoirs on the Coliban River: the Upper Coliban, Lauriston and Malmsbury Reservoirs. Each reservoir is contained within its own defined catchment.
All of our catchments are open catchments where the land within the catchment is privately managed over many land titles by the rural community.
To manage the risks associated with open catchments we partner with the community, agencies and government in order to manage and protect the security of regional water supplies.
> Eppalock Proclaimed Catchment
The Coliban System reservoir catchments form part of the greater Eppalock Proclaimed Catchment.
Proclaimed water supply catchments provide water resources to a reservoir or water storages used primarily for domestic water supply purposes and are established under the Catchment and Land Protection Act 1994.
The Eppalock Proclaimed Water Supply Catchment covers 2,000 square kilometres and is located in the upper reaches of the Campaspe River between Trentham and Heathcote and down to Lake Eppalock.
The catchment includes all or parts of five Local Government Areas:
> City of Greater Bendigo
> Hepburn Shire
> Macedon Ranges Shire
> Mitchell Shire
> Mount Alexander Shire
