INTRODUCTION The western district volcanic plains which cover most of the Glenelg Hopkins region are characterised by stony rises, clay plains, and numerous lakes and swamps. Because of the volcanic geology which disrupted drainage, natural drainage networks are poorly‐developed in many areas. When these areas were settled, significant areas of the swampy and low‐lying land were drained to improve agricultural productivity. The Glenelg Hopkins region has 44% of Victoria’s wetlands, 90% of which are on private land. Since European settlement, 78% of the shallow fresh water meadows and 66% of deep fresh water meadows have been lost (Glenelg Hopkins Regional Catchment Strategy 2003‐2007). The recognised drainage areas make up approximately 196,000 hectares, or 8% of the Glenelg Hopkins region. The agricultural value of the drainage land is high, with the major agricultural enterprises being wool, prime lambs, beef cattle, crops and dairy. The objectives of the drainage schemes are simple – to mitigate the more frequent inundation events and to quickly drain the more extreme inundation events. Most drainage areas in the Glenelg Hopkins region are not significantly influenced by overflows from large rivers and are mostly affected by rainfall in the local catchment. The role of the Glenelg Hopkins CMA in rural drainage management is currently limited to works within its existing floodplain and waterway management roles. The CMA has the legislative capability to manage rural drainage, but there is no recognised management framework and no resources with which to undertake this role. The Glenelg Hopkins CMA has been providing coordination assistance to landowners on an ad hoc basis since the early 2000s. The Glenelg Hopkins Region covers all or part of 11 Local Government Areas, as listed below, and shown in Figure 1‐1. Glenelg (all) Southern Grampians (all) Warrnambool City Council (all) Moyne (most) Ararat (most) Pyrenees (half) West Wimmera (part) Horsham (part) Northern Grampians (part) Ballarat City Council (part) Corangamite (part) The location of recognised drainage areas within the region is shown in Figure 1‐2.
