The GMA includes the townships of Huntly, Gunbower and Leitchville.
The western boundary at the time of writing is the proposed Loddon Plains GMA and the eastern boundary is the Lower Campaspe Valley (Groundwater) Water Supply Protection Area (WSPA).
Groundwater management
The West Campaspe GMA Local Management Plan (the Plan) was developed by Goulburn-Murray Water in consultation groundwater users and key stakeholder agencies.
The Plan aims to provide the local community, and in particular licensed groundwater users, with information about the groundwater system and rules describing how the resource is managed.
