What impact do the Victorian Desalination Project (VDP) underground assets have on the planning for the Croskell (Employment) precinct?
The VDP is state significant infrastructure and is a key component of the delivery of Water for Victoria Water Plan 2016 and the Central and Gippsland Regional Sustainable Water Strategy 2022.
The VDP is an asset that requires protection against inappropriate land development or changes in land use that potentially could damage or impact the infrastructure.
To minimise the risk of any damage or disruption to the VDP assets, the VPA has worked with the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) to minimise the number of new north-south crossings (road, shared user path or drainage) that are provided over the VDP underground assets.
