Partnerships

Hydro Tasmania works with a range of organisations and groups to create benefits for the environment and communities in which we operate.

• We work with Inland Fisheries Service (Tasmania) to manage lake levels for fishing and threatened species, provide flows for trout breeding channels, overcome barriers to migratory fish and eels, and consult on the impacts of reservoir draw-downs.
• We have a tri-partisan agreement with the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industry and Water and the Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association containing a framework for resolving irrigation allocation issues.
• We formed a partnership with Greening Australia Tasmania in July 2006, contributing $175,000 over three years to Greening Australia's Derwent River Recovery Program and creating a framework for co-operative actions between the two organisations.
• We participate in a Recreational Management Steering Committee to integrate management across government agencies, such as Parks and Wildlife Service, Inland Fisheries Service, Marine and Safety Tasmania, Tourism Tasmania and municipal councils.
• We work with recreational and interest groups, such as Angling Alliance Tasmania and the Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association, to meet the needs of all stakeholders for water and land management.
