How Yarra Valley Water entrusted the big decisions to a Citizen's Jury

Friday, 5 August 2022 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jennifer talks with Pat McCafferty, Managing Director of Yarra Valley Water, and Kim Nguyen, a participant on YVW's Citizen's Jury. The guests tell how YVW entrusted big decisions about the future of water management to a representative  sample of community members. Aboriginal elders spoke to the jury several times about their relationship with water, which had a profound effect on jury members. Following recommendations from the jury,'Care for Country' was adopted as a guiding principle for YVW. 

Friday 10:00am to 10:30am
Think Again offers weekly conversations and reflections about current events, trends and public pronouncements on contemporary and emerging issues. The show moves beyond what we read and hear via the public and ‘social’ media, to invite alternative possibilities to guide our thinking, living and organising.
