  • Ovens Murray
    Ovens Murray Infrastructure Victoria is investigating infrastructure investment in regional Victoria that builds on the economic strengths of a region, or that reduces disadvantage, primarily through providing greater access to services and economic opportunities. This fact sheet is focussed on reducing disadvantage, and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying framework for reducing disadvantage through infrastructure. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide evidence that will inform the problem definition for each of Victoria’s nine regions through consultation with stakeholders. The project has a specific focus on areas that experience relatively high levels of disadvantage (ranked in the bottom 30% of the index of Socio-Economic Disadvantage, SEIFA) and this fact sheet provides indicators showing poor outcomes for key demographic groups living in these areas. Infrastructure Victoria invites key stakeholders and service providers to make submissions that provide evidence on which infrastructure could make a difference in reducing disadvantage for the region.

    Perspectives Heritage Solutions Pty Ltd Joanna Freslov December 2004 AAV Project No. 2833 Post Wildfire Indigenous Heritage Survey Volume 2: Management of Impacts from Wildfire and Suppression Activities A Report to Parks Victoria, the Department of Sustainability and Environment and Aboriginal Affairs Victoria i POST WILDFIRE INDIGENOUS HERITAGE SURVEY Perspectives Heritage Solutions Pty Ltd PO Box 713 • Hurstbridge VIC 3099 Phone (03) 9718 1554 • Fax (03) 9718 1829 Cover plate: High intensity burn in the Mitta Mitta River valley, near Anglers Rest (view east) ii WILDFIRE IMPACTS AND MANAGEMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Executive Summary During the 2003 a large bushfire burnt over 1.2 million hectares of private and public land in the high country of northeast Victoria and Gippsland. The fire and suppression activities affected a range of values in the highlands including Aboriginal heritage values. The Public Land Ecological and Cultural Bushfire Recovery Program determined that the best way to address and enhance effective cultural heritage management was an increased understanding of the nature and extent of the impact of bushfires on Indigenous heritage values.1 The Public Land Ecological and Cultural Bushfire Recovery Program aimed to collect this information through a project which would investigate and assess the impact of the bushfire and fire suppression activities on Indigenous cultural heritage values on public land. This project also included an assessment of the impact of the bushfire on non-material heritage values including spiritual places and historic attachments. The project was to be managed jointly by Parks Victoria (PV) and the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE). Parks Victoria and the Department of Sustainability and Environment therefore commissioned Perspectives Heritage Solutions Pty Ltd to conduct a an archaeological survey for Aboriginal cultural heritage values within 12 study areas (later expanded to 14 areas) in the highlands and alpine regions of northeast Victoria and Gippsland (Figure 1).

    Alpine Shire Your guide on where to access fresh, healthy produce MYRTLEFORD • BRIGHT • MOUNT BEAUTY To discover more fresh food producers in North East Victoria, visit the Mountains to Murray Local Produce Guide website: localproduceguide.com.au 2 Alpine Health Alpine Shire Fresh Food Guide Each time we purchase food locally, we interact as a community - strengthening our social connections, improving our health and supporting a sustainable local food system. Food consumption and food access practices are embedded in everyday life and social relationships. This Food Access Guide is developed in partnership with Beechworth Health Service as part of the 2020 Local Food for Local People project. It aims to support a vibrant regional food system, where local people have access to fresh and healthy local food, profits stay in our local communities and community connections are nurtured. Food consumption and food access practices are embedded in everyday life and social relationships. Alpine communities offer many different stores selling fresh groceries, and the wider area abounds with local farms and producers of fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, cheese, nuts, honey, olives and olive oil. This guide also shares information about where to find local food relief as Covid-19 has both made it difficult for many people in our communities to make ends meet and disrupted social relationships. Food relief options include basic supplies, fresh produce, healthy ready-made meals & vouchers. We have aimed to include food retail outlets, markets, producers, community gardens & food shares as well as emergency food relief offerings in this guide. If we have missed you or a food or community offering that should be included, please let us know so we can update this booklet!
