Customer Reference Group

The Customer Reference Group (CRG) helps us keep customers at the forefront of all we do. They play an important role in ensuring customer views and expectations are understood and reflected in our decisions, services, performance reviews and plans for the future.

The CRG:

represents the interests, concerns and priorities of our community
is made up of six to twelve members
meets a minimum of four times per year, in person or online, and may include site visits
provides important input that guides our work

Made up of diverse members from our community, each member of the group contributes their insight and experience.

Members must be Gippsland Water customers and are appointed on their ability to represent broad customer views.
