The group is comprised of Loch Garry Flood Protection customers, community members and representatives from key stakeholders.
It will be part of the Loch Garry Future Service Strategy that G-MW is undertaking.
The strategy has been initiated due to the current regulator at Loch Garry approaching the end of its life span, and the risk of more frequent and intense rainfall events going forth.
G-MW strategy and services planning general manager Steven Abbott thanked those who had applied for the reference group.
“The community reference group will play an important role in determining the best outcome for Loch Garry into the future,” he said.
“We are very grateful to the people who put their names forward to be part of the process and represent their fellow customers and community members.
“The successful applicants have a lot of local knowledge, so we are looking forward to hearing their insights.”
The reference group members are: Colin Gilby, Colin Grinter, John Pettigrew, Linton Ryan, Mackenzie Craig, Mathew Price, Nevil Hauffe, Sally McPherson, Stuart Grinter, Guy Tierney (Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority), Louise Mitchell (Greater Shepparton City Council) and Josh Lewis (Moira Shire Council).
The group will have its first meeting in mid-December.
