There has been a lot of discussion on the "Victorian Birders" group on
Facebook which many of you may not look at.
To summarise - there are rumours that Melbourne Water are planning changes
to the access rules for the WTP which may well have an adverse affect on
birders. Apparently they are seeing a declining number of birders
registering to visit the plant, which can only add to the views in MW that
access is not important. Those of us who go regularly I don't think have
noticed such a reduction, so the hypothesis is that some people are
entering without registering. As I say - this is all hypothesis and you can
head over to the Facebook group to see the discussion.
But I think it is in the long term interests of ALL birders that everyone
registers their visits to the plant so that MW see it is well used. Does
not even have to be a phone call these days - you can email at
Remember that it is a condition of your
permit and do the right thing!
