A cultural assessment of a Drouin creek will highlight paths to enhance its health.

Gippsland Water and Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation (BLCAC) will conduct an assessment of Shillinglaw Creek near the Drouin wastewater treatment plant.
After completion of the new cultural values assessment, the bodies will collaborate to enhance the health of the creek.
Gippsland Water managing director Sarah Cumming said it was the first assessment of its kind that the organisation had completed on any of its catchments.
"This is another wonderful piece of work stemming from our growing relationship with BLCAC," Ms Cumming said.
"We're actively working to enhance biodiversity and integrate traditional knowledge into our environmental management practices, and are pleased to have BLCAC guide us in the right direction."
Ms Cumming said the organisation's wastewater treatment process was "incredibly stringent", and treated wastewater released "is of the highest standard".
"However, we also know the surrounding waterways have been impacted by various invasive plant species and changing land uses over the years," she said.
"This assessment details the cultural significance of the land the Drouin wastewater treatment plant is situated on, as well as the surrounding area and wider township and makes recommendations for the ongoing management of land."
