	Goulburn Weir 1887, Nagambie Victoria - Engineering Heritage Victoria
		Construction of the Goulburn Weir began in 1887 and was completed in early 1891.
		The weir enables water to be diverted to a number of irrigation channels to irrigate thousands of properties in Northern Victoria, and when necessary, for stock and domestic supplies to wheat farms in the Mallee.
		However the significant heritage values of the weir, were respected and sample flood gates, and the turbines were restored in situ.

	Environmental auditing in Victoria - Management of the Goulburn River
		In response to a substantial kill of native fish in the Goulburn River downstream of the Goulburn Weir in January 2004, the Minister for the Environment and Water called for an independent environmental audit of the management of the Goulburn River.
		It was not the role of the auditor to prepare a new response plan or fish kill protocol or revise the Bulk Entitlement agreements for water allocations.
		In response to a kill of fish in the Goulburn River in 2004, an environmental audit of the management of the river took place in 2004 and 2005; view the audit report.

	Goward promises Goulburn weir. 14/12/2006. ABC News Online
		Ms Goward says the new weir on the Wollondilly River would ensure rainfall is caught and stored during times of heavy rain.
		Mr Parker says Goulburn has experienced a 50 per cent increase in the safety and security of its water supply through improvements to the Sooley Dam.
		"The construction of a weir could lead to increased rates of evaporation of the water that was drawn off, it could, for example, impact on adjacent landholders and it could have other environmental impacts, but I think people need to have people who are properly trained in evaluating these solutions," he said.

	Technology in Australia 1788-1988, Chapter 3, page 155
		Severe droughts in 1877-81, coupled with increasing development of inland areas in New South Wales and Victoria from the 1890s onward, led to a realization that individual water supply schemes were inadequate and should be supplemented by large-scale community projects for both irrigation and domestic and stock supplies.
		Goulburn Weir, constructed in the period 1887-1891, across the Goulburn River near Nagambie, was a typically ambitious project of the time.
		This weir consists of a series of steel frames mounted on wheels which run on rails embedded in a concrete sill in the river bed.

	Walkabout - Murchison
		A township, the first in the Lower Goulburn Valley, began to develop around the crossing which was surveyed and named in 1854 after a Captain John Murchison.
		Land along the Goulburn was first opened for selection in 1865 with small landowners moving into the area in the 1870s.
		The building of the Goulburn Weir from 1887-90 dropped the water level and so finished off the dying river trade.

	Scientists baffled by fish deaths - National - www.theage.com.au
		The carp were just below the Goulburn Weir wall, with hundreds of other dead fish, including federally protected endangered species such as trout cod and Murray cod, some thought to be up to 60 years old.
		About 63 per cent of the Goulburn River's water is taken and used for dairying, cropping, grazing and horticulture.
		Their key concerns are: the weir pools and the backwaters are drained each year, affecting fish breeding; vegetation is sprayed with chemicals; fish cannot travel upriver to breed because of the weir wall; and the river is not getting enough environmental flows and proper flushes.

	Goulburn-Murray Water - 2004 Media Releases - Goulburn Weir water quality alert withdrawn
		G-MW Manager Environment Peter Butcher said extensive sampling and testing over the past few days has shown that water sourced from Goulburn Weir is again suitable for use with the normal precautions.
		The alert was issued on 16 January after lower quality water was detected travelling down the Goulburn River and into some Central Goulburn and Shepparton irrigation channels.
		“The lower quality water may be connected with a fish kill in the Goulburn River, but we are now confident that risks to stock and human health are not abnormally elevated.

		The news is serious for the Goulburn Valley, Sharman Stone (MHR, Murray) said, because of the repercussions on our food producing capacity.
		He said river salinity was expected to be a bigger problem in the Broken River, rather than the Goulburn which is diluted during the irrigation season with large amounts of fresh water from Eildon.
		A major survey of watertables in the north Goulburn and Broken River plains is being carried out by the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority and the Department of Natural Resources and Environment.

		“This environmental audit into the Goulburn River will help us improve the management and understanding of the river system to help prevent any further deaths of our native fish and preserve the health of the system for the whole region,” Mr Thwaites said.
		As outlined in Fish-Fax issue 111, a substantial number of native fish, including 90 Murray Cod, as well as 110 introduced carp, were found dead downstream of the Goulburn Weir between the 14th and the 21st January 2004.
		An investigation by the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) into the fish kill found no evidence of chemical pollution but that oxygen levels in parts of the river were too low for fish to survive.
