  • Bellarine DAL Faqs October 2019
    Frequently Asked Questions What are the objectives of declaring the Bellarine Peninsula a ‘Distinctive Area and Landscape’? The Planning and Environment Act 1987 contains objectives for the protection of Distinctive Areas and Landscapes which are: • to recognise the importance of distinctive areas and landscapes to the people of Victoria and to protect and conserve their unique features and special characteristics; • to enhance the conservation of the environment in declared areas including unique habitats, ecosystems and biodiversity; • to enable the integration of policy development, implementation and decision-making through Statements of Planning Policy; • to recognise the connection and stewardship of Traditional Owners. What is the purpose of declaring an area? Declaring the Bellarine Peninsula is a major step in setting out a long-term vision and strategy on how land is used, protected and developed. A map has also been produced of the proposed areas to be protected. The declaration aims to protect the environment, landscape and lifestyle of the Bellarine Peninsula. What happens now that the area has been declared? Now that the Bellarine Peninsula is declared a distinctive area and landscape, a Statement of Planning Policy must be prepared within one year of the declaration. What is a Statement of Planning Policy (SPP)? An SPP will provide the strongest level of planning protection and: • Sets a 50-year vision which identifies the values and attributes to be protected and enhanced • Sets out the long-term needs for the integration of decision making and planning for the declared area • Includes a declared area framework plan that integrates environmental, social, cultural and economic factors for the benefit of the community and encourages sustainable development and identifies areas to be protected and conserved The SPP may also specify protected settlement boundaries.

  • Annual Report on Drinking Water Quality in Victoria 2017–18 Delivering Quality Drinking Water to Victorians
    Annual report on drinking water quality in Victoria 2017–18 Delivering quality drinking water to Victorians A Secretary’s foreword I am pleased to present the Department of Health and Human Services’ Annual report on drinking water quality in Victoria 2017–18, which provides an annual statewide perspective of drinking water quality and water fluoridation activities. Approximately 95 per cent of Victorians continue to receive the benefits of safe, good quality drinking water. This report acknowledges the considerable effort from all water agencies in achieving this. Drinking water compliance in 2017–18 remained strong, with 96 per cent of Victoria’s drinking water localities complying with drinking water quality standards at all times. This report covers the third year since the Safe Drinking Water Regulations 2015 commenced and it demonstrates the tangible benefits to Victorian communities as the legislation becomes further embedded. Of note, the introduced investigation requirements following any E. coli detection (an indicator of microbial risk) have assisted water agencies to identify and implement process and system improvements, leading to beneficial water quality outcomes. Access to safe, good quality drinking water supplies is fundamental to community health and wellbeing. The provision of drinking water allows communities, families and businesses to grow and prosper. However, meeting the Victorian community’s needs into the future with our precious water resources will continue to pose challenges, particularly as we respond to the effects of climate change, population growth and land- use intensification in water supply catchments. These impacts increase threats to water quality, including greater potential for waterborne pathogens and harmful algal blooms, and increase the frequency of water-quality incidents.
