    Ovens Murray Infrastructure Victoria is investigating infrastructure investment in regional Victoria that builds on the economic strengths of a region, or that reduces disadvantage, primarily through providing greater access to services and economic opportunities. This fact sheet is focussed on reducing disadvantage, and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying framework for reducing disadvantage through infrastructure. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide evidence that will inform the problem definition for each of Victoria’s nine regions through consultation with stakeholders. The project has a specific focus on areas that experience relatively high levels of disadvantage (ranked in the bottom 30% of the index of Socio-Economic Disadvantage, SEIFA) and this fact sheet provides indicators showing poor outcomes for key demographic groups living in these areas. Infrastructure Victoria invites key stakeholders and service providers to make submissions that provide evidence on which infrastructure could make a difference in reducing disadvantage for the region.

Food consumption and food access practices are embedded in everyday life and social relationships. This Food Access Guide is developed in partnership with Beechworth Health Service as part of the 2020 Local Food for Local People project. It aims to support a vibrant regional food system, where local people have access to fresh and healthy local food, profits stay in our local communities and community connections are nurtured. Food consumption and food access practices are embedded in everyday life and social relationships. Alpine communities offer many different stores selling fresh groceries, and the wider area abounds with local farms and producers of fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, cheese, nuts, honey, olives and olive oil. This guide also shares information about where to find local food relief as Covid-19 has both made it difficult for many people in our communities to make ends meet and disrupted social relationships. Food relief options include basic supplies, fresh produce, healthy ready-made meals & vouchers. We have aimed to include food retail outlets, markets, producers, community gardens & food shares as well as emergency food relief offerings in this guide. If we have missed you or a food or community offering that should be included, please let us know so we can update this booklet!
