A network of emergency markers will ensure visitors remain safe at Goulburn-Murray Water (GMW) water storages, including Lake Buffalo, these school holidays.
The markers are unique signs with three letters and three numbers that provide exact location information for emergency services when they’re called out to emergency incidents.
GMW has markers in place at lakes Buffalo, Eppalock, Mulwala, William Hovell and Nillahcootie as well as along the Ovens River at Bundalong.
The water corporation started installing the markers in 2018 with 60 of them now in place at locations such as public boat ramps, commercial caravan park boat ramps, some foreshore areas near club sites and strategic perimeter locations.
GMW recreation and land officer, Chris Braden, said the markers provided all the crucial information emergency services needed when they responded to emergency incidents, which includes key travel directions to the incident, the nearest intersection and how long it will take to get there.
