Eastern Treatment Plant Community Liaison Committee
The safety and environmental performance of the plant is independently regulated, but Melbourne Water works closely with the community to monitor the plant's performance.
A Community Liaison Committee plays a vital role in the planning and management of the Eastern Treatment Plant.
The committee was established in 1998, superseding a South East Outfall Local Consultative Committee which extended its terms of reference to include the Eastern Treatment Plant at Bangholme. The committee includes representatives from a broad cross-section of environment and community organisations, together with EPA Victoria, the Department of Sustainability and Environment, local councils and the retail water companies.
Melbourne Water and the CLC have worked with EPA Victoria to produce an Environment Improvement Plan (PDF 1.35Mb) aimed at implementing an agreed action plan for the future management of the plant. The plan identifies the plant's impacts on the environment and specifies actions to protect and enhance the environment at and around the plant. These actions are regularly updated in an EIP Action Plan discussed at the bimonthly community liaison committee meetings
