GMW and North East Catchment Management Authority (NECMA) are collaborating to have the existing concrete fixed crest weir servicing the Tea Garden Creek in the Ovens River, just upstream of Everton, Victoria, replaced with a new ‘fixed crest’ rock-ramp fishway to provide fish passage past this obstruction in the Ovens River whilst still ensuring security of irrigation supply to the Tea Garden Creek irrigators.
