  • DUCK HUNTING in VICTORIA 2020 Background
    DUCK HUNTING IN VICTORIA 2020 Background The Wildlife (Game) Regulations 2012 provide for an annual duck season running from 3rd Saturday in March until the 2nd Monday in June in each year (80 days in 2020) and a 10 bird bag limit. Section 86 of the Wildlife Act 1975 enables the responsible Ministers to vary these arrangements. The Game Management Authority (GMA) is an independent statutory authority responsible for the regulation of game hunting in Victoria. Part of their statutory function is to make recommendations to the relevant Ministers (Agriculture and Environment) in relation to open and closed seasons, bag limits and declaring public and private land open or closed for hunting. A number of factors are reviewed each year to ensure duck hunting remains sustainable, including current and predicted environmental conditions such as habitat extent and duck population distribution, abundance and breeding. This review however, overlooks several reports and assessments which are intended for use in managing game and hunting which would offer a more complete picture of habitat, population, abundance and breeding, we will attempt to summarise some of these in this submission, these include: • 2019-20 Annual Waterfowl Quota Report to the Game Licensing Unit, New South Wales Department of Primary Industries • Assessment of Waterfowl Abundance and Wetland Condition in South- Eastern Australia, South Australian Department for Environment and Water • Victorian Summer waterbird Count, 2019, Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research As a key stakeholder representing 17,8011 members, Field & Game Australia Inc. (FGA) has been invited by GMA to participate in the Stakeholder Meeting and provide information to assist GMA brief the relevant Ministers, FGA thanks GMA for this opportunity.

  • 2012 Gippsland Flood Event - Review of Flood Warnings and Information Systems
    2012 Gippsland Flood Event - Review of Flood Warnings and Information Systems TRIM ID: CD/12/522803 Date: 21 November 2012 Version: Final OFFICE of the EMERGENCY SERVICES COMMISSIONER Page i MINISTERIAL FOREWORD In early June this year, heavy rain and widespread flooding affected tens of thousands of Victorians across the central and eastern Gippsland region. The damage to towns and communities was widespread – particularly in the Latrobe City, Wellington and East Gippsland municipalities. Homes, properties and businesses were damaged, roads and bridges were closed, and more than 1500 farmers were impacted by the rains. A number of people were rescued after being trapped or stranded by the rising waters. Following the floods, some communities had a perception that telephone-based community warnings and information had failed them. As the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, I requested Victoria’s Emergency Services Commissioner to review the effectiveness, timeliness and relevance of the community information and warnings. This report has met my expectations and has identified the consequences and causes for the public’s perception. I welcome the review’s findings. I am confident these will, in time, lead to better and more effective arrangements for community information and warnings and contribute to a safer and more resilient Victoria.

  • The Gippsland Lakes Fishery
    The Gippsland Lakes fishery An overview The Gippsland Lakes are a network of lakes, marshes and lagoons in east Gippsland, covering an area of about 354 square kilometres. The waterway is collectively fed by the Avon-Perry, Latrobe, Mitchell, Nicholson and Tambo rivers and a number of smaller creeks and comprises several large lakes including Lake Wellington, Lake King and Lake Victoria. The region supports a range of natural values important to fisheries resources and is home to several commercial and recreational fisheries. Fishing in the Lakes provides significant value to recreational and commercial fishers, consumers of commercially caught fish and the broader local community. Both sectors are economically important to the region. Commercial fishing in Gippsland Lakes Commercial fishing in Gippsland Lakes is authorised under a number of commercial fishing licences. Those that use nets to harvest fish include Gippsland Lakes Fishery Access Licences, Gippsland Lakes (Bait) Fishery Access Licences and Eel Fishery Access Licences. There are currently ten Gippsland Lakes Fishery Access Licence holders who use a range of methods (mostly mesh and haul seine nets) to harvest a range of species, ten Gippsland Lakes (Bait) Fishery Access Licence holders who use dip and seine nets (and other equipment) to harvest species such as anchovies, spider crabs, bass yabby and marine worms and two Eel Fishery Access Licence holders who use fyke nets to catch long and short finned eels. Commercial catch and value The annual catch of all species by commercial fishers in the Gippsland Lakes since the 1978/79 fishing season can be seen in Figure 1.
