They can have a wide range of effects and impacts on the human and physical environment, and can generate complex needs in dealing with them. The term “Emergency” has been defined in the Emergency Management Act 2013 (S.3) means an emergency due to the actual or imminent occurrence of an event which in any way endangers or threatens to endanger the safety or health of any person in Victoria or which destroys or damages, or threatens to destroy or damage, any property in Victoria or endangers or threatens to endanger the environment or an element of the environment in Victoria, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing- • An earthquake, flood, windstorm or other natural event; and • A fire; and • An explosion; and • A road accident or any other accident; and • A plague or an epidemic or contamination; and • A warlike act or act of terrorism, whether directed at Victoria or a part of Victoria or at any other State or Territory of the Commonwealth; and • A hijack, siege or riot; and • A disruption to an essential service." The economic and social effects of emergencies including loss of life, destruction of property, and dislocation of communities, are inevitable.

  • 21.08 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT the Rural City of Ararat's
    ARARAT PLANNING SCHEME 21.08 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 2004/2006 C12 The Rural City of Ararat’s economy has traditionally been based on prosperous primary production, its high quality merino wool and employment generated from various government departments and functions. However, the Rural City of Ararat’s economy has been subject to substantial change. Agriculture is diversifying, government departments and functions have been centralised and rationalised, tourism and wine production are becoming more important as components of the local economy, technology is still having an impact on the workforce and there is increasing awareness of environmental degradation based on unsustainable land and water uses. Tourism, industrial development, the diversification of the agricultural products and new enterprises based on value-adding closer to the source of the product are ways of expanding and diversifying the economic base of the municipality, to maximise long term economic and social benefits. The strategic location of the Rural City of Ararat, with direct road and rail links to major population centres and ports in Victoria and South Australia in particular, is of great benefit to the local economy through the facilitation of tourism and trade. Until recently Ararat was very much a government town comprising various government agencies and departments including the railways, mental health, State Electricity Commission and Telstra, to name a few. The rationalisation of a number of these government agencies has resulted in the closure of the majority. All industries involved with agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, electricity, gas and water, construction transport and storage, wholesale and retail trade and public administration and defence, recreation, personal and other service finance, property and business services, community services and communication have all experienced very significant downturns in employment.

    PYRENEES PLANNING SCHEME 21.01 PYRENEES SHIRE KEY INFLUENCES & ISSUES 15/12/2016 C41 21.01-1 Snapshot of Pyrenees Shire 15/12/2016 C41 Pyrenees Shire is located in central Victoria between the regional centres of Ballarat and Ararat. It shares common boundaries with the City of Ballarat and Shire of Hepburn to the east, Golden Plains Shire to the south-east, Corangamite and Moyne Shires to the south, Rural City of Ararat to the west, Northern Grampians Shire to the north-west and Central Goldfields Shire to the north-east. Pyrenees Shire was created in September 1994 by the amalgamation of the Shires of Avoca, Lexton and Ripon. It takes its name from the Pyrenees Range, a “fold range” which is almost entirely located within its municipal borders. The Shire covers an area of 3457 square kilometres, extending approximately 90 kilometres in a north-south direction and 40 kilometres in an east-west direction. Despite its size, the Shire has only a small population of 6867 (Victoria in Future 2016), the majority of which reside in the towns of Beaufort and Avoca. There are a number of smaller townships and settlements located throughout the Shire however, which provide local services and facilities to surrounding rural areas and provide important foci for community activities and social interaction. The Shire is projected to have a population of 7,419 by 2031 (Victoria in Future 2016). The Western, Sunraysia and Pyrenees Highways pass through the Shire and provide it with good connections to the surrounding region and to Melbourne. However the good external road connections combined with the small population has resulted in residents relying to some extent on the nearby regional centres and large towns for employment and to meet their needs for retail services, community services and entertainment.
