Max Hudson Project Manager for the Yarra Yarra Regional Drainage Project
As the project manager for drainage it is my job to develop drainage projects in close consultation with land managers. I supervise project development and implementation and also develop processes for maintenance and monitoring of the completed drains. It is also my responsibility to oversee the construction of fencing around the drains and to establish a revegetation and rehabilitation program for the land adjacent to the drains. I report directly to the CEO and we work closely in lobbying Government Departments, Ministers and their representatives to gain further funds for drainage activities.
It is my responsibility to provide project reports, in consultation with the finance manager, to the Yarra Yarra Committee, the Yarra Yarra Catchment Regional Council and relevant funding bodies. I ensure that zone workshops are held from time to time to keep community members up to date with catchment developments. This provides an opportunity for the community members to raise any issues they may have, which will then be discussed at Yarra Yarra Catchment Group meetings, interact with staff so that they may take any concerns of those members back to the YYCMG to be discussed at meetings to be passed on for attention by the YYCRC when ratified by the CEO.I have been involved with the Yarra Yarra Catchment Group since it began and have been actively involved with landcare within the Yarra Yarra region for over 20 years.
