SCOPE: Floods have been identified in the Community Emergency Risk Register in the Municipal Emergency Management Plan as having a high risk. Consequently this plan has been developed. Emergency planning is undertaken at a state level, regional level and a local level. This plan is for the local level only. The plan outlines arrangements for the prevention of, preparedness for, and recovery from flood emergencies within the Campaspe municipal area but primarily covers the response to flood emergencies. REFERENCES: These are listed in Appendix “G”. AUDIT: This Flood Emergency Plan is a sub-plan of the Northern Victorian Integrated Municipal Emergency Management Plan and therefore is subject to the audit provisions of Section 20A of the Emergency Management Act 1986.

  • Chapter 3. Landscape, People and Economy
    Chapter 3. Landscape, people and economy Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning 3. Landscape, people and economy This chapter provides a brief description of the landscape, people and economic drivers in the water resource plan areas. Working rivers The rivers of these water resource plan areas provide many environmental, economic, and social benefits for Victorian communities. Most of northern Victoria’s rivers have been modified from their natural state to varying degrees. These modifications have affected hydrologic regimes, physical form, riparian vegetation, water quality and instream ecology. Under the Basin Plan it is not intended that these rivers and streams be restored to a pre-development state, but that they are managed as ‘working rivers’ with agreed sustainable levels of modification and use and improved ecological values and functions. 3.1 Features of Victorian Murray water resource plan area The Victorian Murray water resource plan area covers a broad range of aquatic environments from the highlands streams in the far east, to the floodplains and wetlands of the Murray River in the far west of the state. There are several full river systems in the water resource plan area, including the Kiewa and Mitta Mitta rivers. Other rivers that begin in different water resource plan areas converge with the River Murray in the Victorian Murray water resource plan area. There are a significant number of wetlands in this area, these wetlands are managed by four catchment management authorities (CMAs): North East, Goulburn Broken, North Central and Mallee and their respective land managers. The Victorian Murray water resource plan area extends from Omeo in the far east of Victoria to the South Australian border in the north west of the state.

  • The District Encompasses Central Victoria and the Lower Part of Central New South Wales
    The District encompasses central Victoria and the lower part of central New South Wales. It extends north to Deniliquin, across to Holbrook, Corryong and south to Melbourne's northern suburbs from Heidelberg to Eltham in the east and Sunbury in the west. Rotary District 9790, Australia consists of 61 Clubs and approximately 1800 members. The Rotary Club of Albury is the oldest in the District, being admitted to Rotary International on 2nd November, 1927. In 1927 the District system was first introduced and Albury was in District 65, the territory being the whole of Australia. Other Clubs of our present District followed; Corowa (July) 1939 and Benalla (November) 1939, Wangaratta 1940, Euroa and Yarrawonga-Mulwala 1946, and Shepparton 1948. In 1949 District 65 became District 28, being Tasmania, part of Victoria east of longitude 144 Degrees and part of New South Wales. Deniliquin came in 1950, Wodonga 1953, Myrtleford, Cobram and Seymour 1954 and Heidelberg and Coburg 1956. In 1957 Districts were renumbered and District 28 became District 280, then came Numurkah 1957, Bright and Finley 1959, Kyabram and Preston 1960, Tatura and Broadmeadows 1962, Albury North and Nathalia 1963, Tallangatta and Mooroopna 1964, followed by Alexandra and Thomastown in 1966, Mansfield and Corryong 1967, Greenborough 1968, Reservoir 1969, Albury West 1970 and Appin Park 1972 (now Appin Park Wangaratta). On July 1, 1972 District 280 was divided into two, and the above Clubs became the new District 279. Since then the following Clubs have been admitted to Rotary International: Kilmore/Broadford (1972) (now Southern Mitchell); Sunbury, Eltham, Beechworth and Heidelberg North (1973) (now Rosanna); Shepparton South and Belvoir-Wodonga (1974); Fawkner (1975); Pascoe Vale (1976); Strathmore-Gladstone Park (1977) (now Strathmore), Albury Hume and Healesville (1977); Shepparton Central (1983); Wodonga West (1984); Tocumwal, Lavington, Craigieburn, Holbrook and Mount Beauty (1985); Jerilderie, Yea and Bellbridge Lake Hume (1986); Rutherglen, Bundoora and Nagambie (1987).

GRIFFITH AND SPAVEX. CAXTOX PRINTING OFFICE. FlTZROy, MELBOURNE. PEEFACE. This volume is a contribution to the history of the Wes leyan Methodist Church in Victoria. The authors, years ago, saw the importance of preserving documents and records, which would give authentic data concerning the early times of this Church. In the year 1881, the Victoria and Tasmania Conference directed them to collect such materials, and this request was repeated by the General Conference of the Australasian Wesleyan Methodist Church. That trust has been considered a positive and sacred duty by them, and they have fulfilled it with some success, having been largely aided by numerous friends and Circuit authorities, who possessed such records. They sought also to obtain oi'al or written statements from such of the early pioneers who survive to the present time, and they are greatly indebted for such information kindly given by the Revs. W. Butters, J. Harcourt, J. C. Symons, M. Dyson, and Messrs. Witton, Beaver, Stone, the Tuckfield family, Mrs.

  • Edward M. Curr and the Tide of History
    5. Decline and Fall In Recollections of Squatting in Victoria Edward M. Curr gives only a vague explanation for his leaving Victoria in February 1851, noting that he was ‘desirous of a change’ and wanted to travel through some of the countries ‘about which I had interested myself from boyhood’.1 There seems little doubt, however, that his father’s death three months earlier was a major catalyst in his decision; for a decade he had worked at the behest of his overbearing father, but was now free to pursue his own interests. Before he departed, arrangements were made regarding the runs he and his brothers had inherited. Richard Curr leased the southern squatting runs from his brothers and based himself at the Colbinabbin station. The northern runs (including Tongala) were let to a Mr Hodgson, although it appears that one or more of the younger Curr brothers might have assisted him with station management.2 Meanwhile, Edward, Charles and Walter departed the colony only a few months before the discovery of gold threw the pastoral industry into turmoil. Curr’s younger sister Florence recorded in a memoir that Richard established a home for his mother and younger siblings at Colbinabbin. As the closest station to Melbourne, Colbinabbin had occasionally been a winter residence for the wider Curr family. Richard’s principal challenge was maintaining his labour force, as the station was only 40 miles from the Bendigo goldfields. Eleven-year-old Florence later recalled that she had a marvellous time at Colbinabbin, blissfully unaffected by ‘the troubles of Richard in finding and still more in keeping shepherds’.3 The labour shortage is the principal reason why Richard, in consultation with his mother, decided to sell the squatting runs in 1852.

Closer to home there have been further challenges with local industries facing another prolonged dry spell. Furthermore, prior to Christmas last December an attempt was made to liberate the Bank’s ATM. While this was unsuccessful, some $45,000 damage was done to the building. Due to several delays the repairs and upgrades of the bank weren’t completed until March although they have included an automatic sliding door and a new and improved veranda. Added to this ordeal was the fact that the rear of the building needed underpinning costing around $20,000. Despite these drawbacks the bank has been able to maintain a strong position with footings of $65 million to June 30th, 2019. The Board also has $79,000 in the Community Enterprise Foundation. At this point I take my hat off to our staff who worked through these tumultuous times to continue serving our valuable customers maintaining our ongoing rapport with the community.
