    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 ..
