  • Chapter 3. Landscape, People and Economy
    Chapter 3. Landscape, people and economy Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning 3. Landscape, people and economy This chapter provides a brief description of the landscape, people and economic drivers in the water resource plan areas. Working rivers The rivers of these water resource plan areas provide many environmental, economic, and social benefits for Victorian communities. Most of northern Victoria’s rivers have been modified from their natural state to varying degrees. These modifications have affected hydrologic regimes, physical form, riparian vegetation, water quality and instream ecology. Under the Basin Plan it is not intended that these rivers and streams be restored to a pre-development state, but that they are managed as ‘working rivers’ with agreed sustainable levels of modification and use and improved ecological values and functions. 3.1 Features of Victorian Murray water resource plan area The Victorian Murray water resource plan area covers a broad range of aquatic environments from the highlands streams in the far east, to the floodplains and wetlands of the Murray River in the far west of the state. There are several full river systems in the water resource plan area, including the Kiewa and Mitta Mitta rivers. Other rivers that begin in different water resource plan areas converge with the River Murray in the Victorian Murray water resource plan area. There are a significant number of wetlands in this area, these wetlands are managed by four catchment management authorities (CMAs): North East, Goulburn Broken, North Central and Mallee and their respective land managers. The Victorian Murray water resource plan area extends from Omeo in the far east of Victoria to the South Australian border in the north west of the state.

  • Mildura Rural City Council Submission
    Mildura Rural City Council Submission Inquiry into Environmental Infrastructure for Growing Populations SEPTEMBER 2020 The Victorian Legislative Assembly Environment and Planning Committee received the following Terms of Reference from the Legislative Assembly on 1 May 2019: An inquiry into the current and future arrangements to secure environmental infrastructure, particularly parks and open space, for a growing population in Melbourne and across regional centres to the Environment and Planning Committee for consideration. Examples of environmental infrastructure of particular interest to the Committee include parks and open space, sporting fields, forest and bushland, wildlife corridors and waterways. The Committee is primarily interested in environmental infrastructure that is within or close to urbanised areas. Mildura Rural City Council Overview Mildura Rural City (MRCC) is the largest municipality in Victoria, covering an area of 22,330 sq.km. Located in north-west Victoria, it shares borders with New South Wales and South Australia. The population of the local government area is approximately 55,000, dispersed across isolated rural townships, horticulture dependent satellite towns and one central regional city of Mildura township. The township of Mildura is an important regional hub, due to the distance from other regional Cities, Melbourne, and proximity to other states. Mildura Township is located on the Murray River near its junction with the Darling. Mildura has a typical mediterranean climate with dry summers and mild winters. This climate and location make it an ideal place for sport and regional sporting tournaments and events as well as the utilisation of environmental infrastructure such as trails, parks and open space all year round.
