Goulburn–Murray Water also provides irrigation services to about 68,000 square kilometres (26,000 sq mi) stretching from the Great Dividing Range to the south, the Murray River to the north and stretching from Corryong in the east to Nyah.[1]
Goulburn–Murray Water is managed by a managing director who reports to a Board of Management that are ultimately responsible to the Minister for Water, presently Harriet Shing. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning provides administrative oversight of the statutory authority.
