Morass water fine

A SALE man has been prosecuted for taking and using water without authority, and with interfering with the flow in a waterway.
Gary Howard was fined $1500 without conviction by the Sale Magistrates Court, and ordered to pay costs to Southern Rural Water of $1500.
SRW's manager groundwater and rivers Craig Parker said the charges followed an investigation into an incident on the Latrobe River in March, where water was released from the river into Heart Morass.
Mr Parker said investigation showed Mr Howard had released the water onto the property, owned by the Field and Game Association.
"This prosecution is a timely reminder for landowners that they must have a valid licence to take and use water, and that they must comply with their licence conditions at all times,'' Mr Parker said.
"Simply taking water from a river, without any authority, is not acceptable and is unfair to other users, including the environment.''
At the time Mr Howard said the diversion was an attempt to prevent the wetland from becoming acidic.
He said the diversion was in the interest of protecting and maintaining the health of the Heart Morass.

Foenander says the Coalition Against Duck Hunting have claimed that water is being topped up at Hart's Morass, a key hunting ground. Laurie Levy, Coalition against Duck Hunting Campaign Director, says water is being syphoned off from the Latrobe River to fill the wetland. Levy says the coalition sent an undercover team into the Morass and this is how they gathered this information. He says information indicates the filling has been happening for at least a week, and prior to this the wetland was very dry. He says if Field and Game Association were acting illegally, they will be charged with stealing water.

Interview with Gary Howard, Sale Field and Game Association. Howard acknowledges water ran into Hart's Morass for five days, which brought it to 20 per cent capacity. He says the issue was the water was too saline, and the running of the water was designed to compliment Field and Game work to rehabilitate the Morass. He says the water running from the Latrobe River is naturally running into the Morass. Howard expects protesters to disrupt the hunting season.
