Lakes Entrance Waterworks Trust

Full description

The Lakes Entrance Waterworks Trust (VA 2113) was constituted on 4 October 1955. The inaugural meeting of the Trust was held on 13 March 1956. The Lakes Entrance Waterworks Trust provided a reticulated water supply to Lakes Entrance and surrounding areas, including those in the former Shire of Tambo (VA 909), such as Nowa Nowa.

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
In 1984, the Trust was abolished and its function was transferred to the Tambo Water Board (VA 5681) as of 1 October 1984.
