  • Chapter 3. Landscape, People and Economy
    Chapter 3. Landscape, people and economy Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning 3. Landscape, people and economy Victoria’s North and Murray Water Resource Plan applies to surface water resources in the Northern Victoria and Victorian Murray water resource plan areas, and groundwater resources in Goulburn-Murray water resource plan area. This chapter provides a brief description of the landscape, people and economic drivers in the water resource plan areas. Working rivers The rivers of this water resource plan area 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 in the far east, to the Mallee region 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): Goulburn Broken, Mallee CMAs, North Central and North East and their respective land managers.

  • Protecting the Natural Treasures of the Australian Alps
    Protecting the Natural Treasures of the Australian Alps Alpine National Park Avon Wilderness Park Bimberi Nature Reserve Brindabella National Park Kosciuszko National Park Mount Buffalo National Park Namadgi National Park Scabby Range Nature Reserve Snowy River National Park Peter Coyne May 2001 A report to the Natural Heritage Working Group of the Australian Alps Liaison Committee Protecting the Natural Treasures of the Australian Alps About the author Peter Coyne has had an interest in the Australian Alps from early childhood and a long history of interest and involvement in protected area issues. This began with preparation of a management plan as an honours project when such a document was a real novelty. He had the rare opportunity to create national parks, working with the Land Conservation Council in Victoria where he defined the boundaries and gave names to proposed new national parks, including Croajingalong, Snowy River and Tingaringy, which the Government adopted. Dr Coyne joined the Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service in its early days and spent four years establishing the Service’s office and operations on Norfolk Island, and introducing the concept of environmental management to the island’s community and government (which led to the creation of the Norfolk Island National Park). He then headed the ANPWS Park Planning Section, personally preparing the management plan for Kakadu National Park and having responsibility for preparation of other plans ranging from central Australia (Uluru–Kata Tjuta) to marine national nature reserves in the Coral and Timor Seas, and park plans for Australia’s remote Indian Ocean Territories. During this time he also developed the legislation and lease to enable transfer of Uluru to its traditional Aboriginal owners and its lease back to the Director of National Parks and Wildlife for continuing use as a national park.
