  • Goulburn River Boating Guide
    GOULBURN RIVER BOATING GUIDE Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority has prepared the “Goulburn River Boating Guide” to help boaters safely enjoy this recreation venue. Funding to assist with the production of this guide has been made available by the State Government through a grant from the Boating Safety and Facilities Program administered by Marine Safety Victoria. THE WATERWAY Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority is the waterway manager appointed under the Marine Act 1988 for the Goulburn River between the Lake Eildon Pondage and Hughes Creek, excluding creeks and streams flowing into the river and storages. This represents a distance of approximately 165 km, much of it isolated. THE BOATING GUIDE Boat operators should recognise that water flow and depths vary during the year, often at very short notice. They should exercise care to ensure that they are operating in a safe fashion appropriate to their location and not adversely impacting on other water users and the environment. The guide is intended to provide information to raise the level of boating safety awareness before people venture onto the river to enjoy the boating experience. The Goulburn River offers a diverse boating and recreational activity environment that attracts people to enjoy fishing, canoeing/kayaking and rafting. The major source of water is Lake Eildon and these waters are used for irrigation in northern Victoria, with the balance flowing into the Murray River. The varying demand for irrigation is one of the reasons for periodic changes to the river that may impact on boating. The Statewide operating rules made under the provisions of the Marine Act 1988 apply to the whole of the Goulburn River between the Eildon Pondage and Hughes Creek (downstream from Seymour).

  • Kilmore East Murrindindi Complex South Fire
    KILMORE EAST MURRINDINDI COMPLEX SOUTH FIRE BURNED AREA EMERGENCY STABILIZATION PLAN BIODIVERSITY - FAUNA ASSESSMENT I. OBJECTIVES • Assess the effects of fire and suppression actions to the Threatened and Endangered Species of Victoria, Australia under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 (FFG Act), and the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 • Prescribe emergency stabilization and rehabilitation measures and/or monitoring and assess the effects of these actions to listed species and their designated habitat. II. ISSUES Impacts to Rare or Threatened Species- Seven listed species under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 (FFG Act), (Leadbeater’s Possum [Gymnobelideus leadbeateri], Spotted tree-frog [Litora spenceri], Barred Galaxias [Galaxias olidus var. fuscus], Macquarie Perch (Macquaria australasica), Brush-tailed Phascogale [Phascogale tapoatafa], Powerful Owl [Ninox strenua]), Sooty Owl [Tyto tenebricosa], occur within the fire areas. Leadbeater’s Possum, Barred Galaxias, and Macquarie Perch, are also listed nationally under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) within the fire area. Impacts to these species and their habitats from the fire, suppression actions, and proposed emergency stabilization actions are addressed. III. OBSERVATIONS The purpose of this Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) Wildlife Assessment is to document the effects of the fire, suppression activities, proposed stabilization treatments, and potential post fire flooding and sediment delivery to listed threatened and endangered fauna species and their preferred habitats within the fire area. This assessment includes effects to species that occur on lands under the tenure of the Department of Sustainability and Environment, Parks Victoria, Goulburn Broken Water Catchment Management Authority, Goulburn Valley Water, Melbourne Water Corporation, and private ownership.

  • RFPG Submission to Murrindindi Shire Council Re Tourist Development
    Rubicon Forest Protection Group Submission to Murrindindi Shire Council on the Draft 2019-20 Budget In June 2016 the Rubicon Forest Protection Group made a presentation to the then Murrindindi Council on the fate awaiting the Rubicon State Forest if logging continued as planned. Our submission pointed to the amazing tourist potential of the area and how this was being ruined by the scale of logging on top of the vast area of ash forest killed in the 2009 fire. Distressingly, logging has continued largely unabated. The Royston Range, Middle Range and Rubicon Valley are now effectively logged out severely compromising their tourism potential, yet VicForests propose even more coupes in these areas. However the main focus of logging has shifted eastward to the relatively lightly logged Torbreck Range, to the eastern side of the Snobs Creek Valley and southward to Cambarville. The prospect of widespread logging of these extraordinarily biodiverse and beautiful areas is utterly appalling. We again now urge Council to do more to help protect what is left of the over-logged forests in our Shire, by developing and promoting their extraordinary tourist potential. This includes pressing the State Government to do more to promote and protect the forest, and help our Shire build a tourism future involving its wonderful natural assets. In terms of pressing the State Government, we ask that as part of the tourism and events strategy which Council is developing (but about which we know little) provision is made in the 2019-20 Budget to establish a Murrindindi Forest Tourism Development and Promotion Committee (MFTDPC).

  • Is Fishing Pressure Adversely Impacting Wild Trout Populations and the Quality of the Trout Fishery?
    Is fishing pressure adversely impacting wild trout populations and the quality of the trout fishery? Kylie Hall and Khageswor Giri Fisheries Victoria, DEDJTR, Agriculture Research, DEDJTR Aim: Determine usage patterns of anglers to assess the fishing pressure on ‘wild’ trout river fisheries in the Upper Goulburn basin. Background: Many of the waters upstream of Lake Eildon in the north-eastern region of Victoria (Goulburn River basin, Mansfield Shire) are important nursery streams for Lake Eildon and support ‘wild’ self-sustaining recreational fishing for trout. Determining the usage of these streams by anglers will enable an assessment of the impact of angler pressure and exploitation on these wild trout fisheries to assist in the management of these waters. Howqua River, north eastern Victoria. What we did: Targeted surveys were conducted on-site at Upper Goulburn basin rivers over the 2014–2015 trout season with questions on visitor demographics, preferences, avidity, catch and effort. The creel clerk completed 13 days of driving to popular wild trout stream locations, including the townships of Jamieson, Woods Point and Mansfield, and campsites adjacent to the Goulburn, Howqua, Jamieson, Delatite and Big rivers and Running Creek. Interviews were conducted with visitors and individuals engaging in possible fishing activity to provide indications of fishing pressure, fisher behaviour, fisher avidity and visitor preferences. Wild trout fishery anglers were interviewed to assist in determining whether fishing pressure is adversely impacting on wild trout populations in the Upper Goulburn basin. A tag reward program was established in a case-study river in the north-east of Victoria to understand the trout fishing rate of exploitation (tag returns).
