  • Who Does What in Water in Gippsland 2021 Acknowledgement
    Who does what in water in Gippsland 2021 Acknowledgement The West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the Traditional Land Owners and other indigenous people within the catchment area: the Gunaikurnai, the Bunurong and Boon Wurrung, and the Wurundjeri peoples. We also recognise the contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and organisations in Land and Natural Resource Management. Overview Across Gippsland there are a number of Government agencies and community groups that work together to protect our catchments and waterways and to manage water resources, supply and demand. Sometimes their boundaries overlap, but each organisation has quite a different role and offers different services. This brochure aims to inform members of the community of the major roles and responsibilities of each agency with respect to water. The following pages contain information about each organisation responsible for caring for water in the Gippsland region including their responsibilities, boundaries and contact details. Breakdown of Organisation types Water Catchment Southern Corporations Management Rural Water Authorities Agriculture Traditional Local Victoria Owners EPA Government Who does what in water 2020 / 1 Who does what Regional Urban Water Corporations • Collection of wastewater from residential and commercial customers • Treatment of wastewater before returning clean water to the environment • Supply potable water and wastewater services to homes in a city or town through a reticulated system • Manage and monitor potable water use in a city or town Southern Rural Water • Authorises and regulates licensed use of water from waterways, dams and bores for domestic and stock use, irrigation and commercial purposes • Manages large storages and surrounding recreation areas such as Blue Rock Lake, Cowwarr Weir and Glenmaggie Weir.

  • Parish and Township Plan Numbers
    Parish and Township plan numbers This is a complete list of Victorian parishes and townships, together with plan numbers assigned by the Victorian Department of Crown Lands and Survey at some point between 1950 and 1970. The list has been reproduced from the Vicmap Reference Tables on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's land information website. Browse the list or use a keyword search to identify the plan number/s for a location. The plans are listed alphabetically. Townships and parishes are inter-sorted on the list. Some entries refer to locations within parishes or townships; these entries may be duplicated. The plan number can be used to locate copies of plans that PROV holds in the series VPRS 16171 Regional Land Office Plans Digitised Reference Set. For example, using the Search within a Series page on the PROV online catalogue with series number '16171' and the text '5030' will return the specific plans relating to the township of Ballarat. In this case, searching for 'Ballaarat' by name will return al the plans in the Ballarat land district, covering much of central and western Victoria. PROV does not hold copies of plans for the locations highlighted in pale yellow below. In most cases this is because parish-level plans were not created for areas such as national parks, where there were few land transactions to record. Plans showing these locations can be downloaded from the landata website under the section 'Central Plan Office Records'. 5001 Township of Aberfeldy 2016 Parish of Angora 2001 Parish of Acheron 2017

I am writing to object to the proposed application by Kalbar Operations Pty Ltd (Kalbar) for a mineral sands mine at Glenaladale. East Gippsland and in particular the Gippsland Lakes (an area of 354 sqKm) has long been a holiday destination for not only Victorians but internationals due to the uniqueness with it being the largest navigatable inland lake system in Australia. Being approx 300km from Melbourne a journey to this area can involve value added overnight stays. Visitation Economy: It is recognised by both Federal and State governments that the Visitation Economy is a major way to grow the East Gippsland economy in general for the long term making it a better place to not only visit but to live whilst creating business and job opportunities. Local Federal MP The Hon. Darren Chester estimates that in 2018 the Visitor Economy for Greater Gippsland generated over $1Billion from 6.4 Million visitors. That supported more than 10,000 jobs. https://darrenchester.com.au/east-gippsland-recovery-2030-plan/ Victorian State Minister for Fishing and Boating, The Hon. Melissa Horne, advises that recreational fishing in Gippsland “...has been measured to contribute $350 Million to the Victorian economy and supports more than 1,700 full time jobs”.
