Briagolong Waterworks Trust

Full description

Establishment
The Briagolong Waterworks Trust was constituted under the provisions of the Water Act, gazetted 7 May 1969.

Water Reform
Under section 8 of the Water and Sewerage Authorities (Restructuring) Act 1983 (No. 9895) many Waterworks Trusts and Sewerage Authorities were abolished. Water Boards replaced Waterworks Trusts and Sewerage Authorities, or the functions were transferred to Municipalities. Further reforms in the 1990's led to the amalgamation of many of the Water Boards created after 1983.

Abolition
The Macalister Water Board, VA 4124 [gazetted 7/11/1984], succeeded the Briagolong Waterworks Trust. Other agencies involved in this amalgamation were the Heyfield Waterworks Trust (VA 2100), Maffra Sewerage Authority (VA 2001), Heyfield Sewerage Authority (VA 1986) and Maffra Waterworks Trust (VA 2125).
