Guiding principles
for collaboration
The purpose of the Dandenong IWM
Forum is to provide a collaborative
platform for overseeing, supporting IWM Forum
and, where necessary, facilitating
water’s contribution to resilience
and liveability in Victoria.
Applying an IWM approach,
the Forum will:
• Consider the collective community
needs in the regional context IWM Working Group
and develop an overall strategic
direction accordingly.
• Complement and feed into existing
water and land planning processes,
collaborative networks, forums
and associations.
• Commit best endeavours to facilitate IWM Project IWM Project IWM Project

Regional context
The Dandenong IWM Forum Area encompasses some of Victoria’s most
iconic waterways and landscapes. The catchment covers an area of
approximately 1,236 km2, extending in the northeast from the foothills
of the Dandenong Ranges south to Mornington Peninsula on Port Phillip
Bay. It includes regional catchments flowing into Port Phillip Bay from Port
Melbourne to Point Nepean. The landscape of the Dandenong catchment
varies from mountainous forested areas, wetlands and coastal beaches,
to densely populated and expanding areas on Melbourne’s fringe.
While the Forum Area includes several Population particularly those surrounding
