Victorian Water Minister Lisa Neville has ruled out building any more dams for that state, citing a forecast that water in the state’s rivers will halve by 2065. Neville says Victoria’s existing dams are in the best locations for capturing water, although she notes the Thomson Dam, which was intended to ‘drought proof’ Melbourne, has only filled three times in its history, with the last time being in 1996. Neville says that rather than the federal government offering Victoria money for more dams, it should give it funds to expand its desalination plant.
