Macedon Ranges Shire’s high elevation and temperate climate provides it with scenic landscapes, natural features and extensive woodlands. The Shire continues to exhibit some of Victoria’s earliest European settlements, including intact heritage towns, pastoral farms, and historic mansions and gardens. Historic towns such as Gisborne and Kyneton were established on historic transport and supply corridors between Melbourne and central and northern Victoria. These corridors were strengthened during the gold rush between 1850 and the 1860s. There have been previous heritage studies which have identify many heritage places worthy of further investigation. The Gisborne and Kyneton Heritage Study 2017, considered and built upon, places identified in previous heritage studies. Macedon Ranges Planning Scheme Amendment C118 (the Amendment) seeks to implement the Gisborne and Kyneton Heritage Study 2017 recommendations by applying the Heritage Overlay to the 38 places in Gisborne, New Gisborne and Kyneton. The Amendment was exhibited from 22 March to 2 May 2018 and received 12 submissions. Key issues raised in submissions included the heritage study approach such as site selection, accuracy and consistency with a previous heritage study. General issues included how the Heritage Overlay was mapped to farming homesteads, property owner assistance, property value, insurance premiums and land ownership. Issues specific to individual heritage places included whether there was sufficient local heritage significance to apply the Heritage Overlay, whether additional Heritage Overlay Schedule controls should be applied, and whether the heritage citation accurately

    Chapter 8. Aboriginal water values and uses Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning 8. Aboriginal water values and uses The Murray-Darling Basin Plan requires Basin states to identify objectives and outcomes of water, based on Aboriginal values and uses of water, and have regard to the views of Traditional Owners on matters identified by the Basin Plan. Victoria engaged with Traditional Owner groups in the Water Resource Plan for the northern Victoria area to: • outline the purpose, scope and opportunity for providing water to meet Traditional Owner water objectives and outcomes through the Murray-Darling Basin Plan • define the role of the water resource plans in the Basin, including but not limited to the requirements of the Basin Plan (Chapter 10, Part 14) • provide the timeline for the development and accreditation of the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan • determine each Traditional Owner group’s preferred means of engagement and involvement in the development of the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan • continue to liaise and collaborate with Traditional Owner groups to integrate specific concerns and opportunities regarding the water planning and management framework. • identify Aboriginal water objectives for each Traditional Owner group, and desired outcomes The Water Resource Plan for the Northern Victoria water resource plan area, the Victorian Murray water resource plan area and the Goulburn-Murray water resource plan area is formally titled Victoria’s North and Murray Water Resource Plan for the purposes of accreditation. When engaging with Traditional Owners this plan has been referred to as the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan and is so called in Chapter 8 of the Comprehensive Report.

  • Response of to the Macedon Ranges Localised Planning Statement
    Response of to the Macedon Ranges Localised Planning Statement My name is . I have lived in , Woodend for years. I am writing to express my deepest concern about the Macedon Ranges Localised Planning Statement ("the Statement"). This statement is contrary to the Woodend Town Structure Plan which was formulated after much public consultation and which was approved by the Minister for Planning and adopted by the Macedon Ranges Shire Council as policy. The Statement is also contrary to the promise by the Planning Minister to protect the character of the Macedon Ranges. I am one of the residents of Woodend who feels that all the work we put into the Woodend Structure Plan in 2014 is under threat. How can we feel that some influence and that our opinions are respected when policies such as the Woodend Town Structure Plan ("the Structure Plan") can be overturned? I will outline my concerns with regard to the following aspects: Visual Impact and Changed Character of Woodend Environmental Concerns Traffic Choice to Live in a Small or Larger Town Dangerous Precedent Tourism Building on Excellent Agricultural Land Visual Impact and Changed Character of Woodend Woodend has a unique setting which defines its character. The town is ringed by rural land or forest on all sides. To allow such development as in the proposed investigation zone would change and destroy this defining character. This view is supported by the statement in the Structure Plan at p96-97. "This grazing land interfaces with the Avenue of Honour, provides the open rural outlook that is an integral part of the northern gateway experience." Environmental Concerns With reference to the north-west of Woodend investigation area, the Structure Plan (p88) states that a development in that area: "presents considerable developmental constraints in the form of cultural, landscape and environmental sensitivities and a number of overlay controls as well as an extensive section of riparian corridor with flooding issues for the south east ..

Acknowledging and repatriating Indigenous material and objects 19 Updated Nov 2016 2 CEO Foreword I am very pleased to be able to present our ‘Organisational Protocols for Recognising Traditional Owners/Custodians’. The Macedon Ranges region has a strong and rich Indigenous association, going back at least 26,000 years and evident in the range of significant Aboriginal sites within Macedon Ranges including Hanging Rock, Mount William, and Mount Macedon. Aboriginal protocols are a way to recognise the long Indigenous association in Macedon Ranges as well as a way to promote respect and recognition of the Traditional Owners/Custodians. The protocols are a collection of guidelines to advise staff and Councillors in recognising, and therefore respecting, the Traditional Owners/Custodians. By using them our organisation will further develop relationships with local Aboriginal leaders and the Registered Aboriginal Parties. Through these relationships we can develop a better understanding and commitment to engaging with and recognising Aboriginal priorities. In addition, through implementing these protocols the wider community will be able to share in Aboriginal culture and heritage, enabling better relationships between Indigenous people and other Australians.
