Numerous agencies, organisations and groups play a role in delivering the Port Phillip and Western Port Regional Catchment Strategy. 

Their combined expertise and resources present a tremendous opportunity for effective decision-making in our region and their contribution to effective integrated catchment management is vital for the environmental health of the region. Many of the strategy's environmental projects are shared with Victorian agencies such as the Department of Sustainability and Environment and the Department of Primary Industries as well as local governments, other environmental organisations and community groups throughout the region.

The Port Phillip and Westernport CMA has a particuarly important relationship with Melbourne Water, who shares catchment responsibilities with the Port Phillip and Westernport CMA under the Catchment and Land Protection Act 1984. Melbourne Water manages Melbourne's water supply catchments, removes and treats most of Melbourne's sewage and manages waterways, floodplains, environmental water reserve and major drainage systems for the region.

Monitoring and reporting

The Authority monitors and evaluates the implementation of the Regional Catchment Strategy in conjunction with our partners and reports on environmental achievements achieved by effective implementation of the strategy. The Port Phillip and Westernport CMA produces two implementation reports a year and an annual report on the condition of the region's environment.
