Victoria

摘要

Melbourne's water storages dropped by almost 56 billion litres over summer after one of the driest ever starts to the year, with Melbourne entering autumn at the lowest levels since 1984.rnThe Federal Environment Minister gave conditional approval to the Victorian Government's proposed desalination plant near Wonthaggi. The conditions include a requirement that the Victorian Government develop management strategies to minimise the impacts on threatened species and ecological communities on the Western Port Ramsar Wetland.
