Minister for Water Lisa Neville recently announced all positions on water boards would be reviewed to deal with future environmental and economic challenges.
“We need some continuity; if all the knowledge walks out the door then we’ll spend the next two years bringing completely new boards up to speed”, VFF Water Council chairman Richard Anderson said.
“The rolling appointments process that has been in place until now has helped to bring new blood onto boards while balancing the need to continue with business.”
The VFF encouraged farmers to lodge expressions of interest.
