  • Reform of the Psychiatric Disability Rehabilitation and Support Services Program
    Mental Health Community Support Services June 2014 Fact Sheet 2: Information for Existing Clients Fact Sheet: Information for Existing Clients This fact sheet provides information for current clients of mental health community support services provided under the Victorian Psychiatric Disability Rehabilitation and Support Services (PDRSS) program. It includes information about the changes that will happen to these services over the next few months, when these changes will occur and how the changes might affect you. As part of these changes the Victorian Government will also change the name of the PDRSS program to Mental Health Community Support Services (MHCSS) program from August 2014. This change is about supporting you. The changes will ensure access to mental health community support services is fair and equitable by ensuring people most disabled by their mental health condition do not miss out on the support they need. The reforms will make it easier for new and returning consumers and carers to get help no matter where they live. This will be achieved by establishing a centralised intake point for all referrals in each local area. A fact sheet explaining how the new intake assessment system will work will be made available shortly. We also know you want services to be of a consistent quality and designed around your individual needs and preferences. This is why we are introducing Individualised Client Support Packages. They will replace standard, moderate and intensive Home Based Outreach Services, Day Programs, Care Coordination, Aged Intensive Program and Special Client Packages from 1 August 2014. Your support package will help you to develop the life skills needed to live well in the community and to manage your mental illness.

  • Victorian Local Sustainability Accord Accord Update No
    Victorian Local Sustainability Accord Accord Update No. 1 19 April 2004 The Victorian Local Sustainability Accord (the Accord) is the partnership program between the Victorian State Government and local governments aimed at progressing local, regional and state-wide environmental sustainability. It was launched on 7 November 2005, at which time the Minister for Environment, together with five peak local government bodies, committed to the principles of the Accord in a Call to Action. The Call to Action invites all Victorian local governments to join with the State Government in committing to the principles and actions of the Accord. Accord Pilot Program A Pilot Program of the Accord implementation process is currently underway with the following five ‘pilot’ councils working with DSE to develop some of the key Accord actions: Moyne Shire Council; Moorabool Shire Council; Hobsons Bay City Council; Bendigo City Council; and Nillumbik City Council. A number of meetings have taken place between each of the pilot councils and DSE, and a group workshop was held in early March to develop the structure and content of the Local Environmental Sustainability Priority Statements (LESPS). All of the councils that join the Accord will participate in the development of a LESPS as part of the Accord implementation process. The pilot councils are currently working on the first draft of their LESPS and further meetings are planned between DSE, councils and relevant State agencies to further refine these documents. The Pilot Program is currently anticipated to be complete by the end of May 2006. Accord Uptake Congratulations to the further 16 municipalities that have joined the Accord by passing a resolution at Council committing to the Accord’s principles and actions.

  • Nillumbik Shire Council Submission to the Victorian Parliament's Environment and Planning Committee Inquiry Into Ecosystem
    LC EPC Inquiry into Ecosystem Decline in Victoria Submission 392 Nillumbik Shire Council submission to the Victorian Parliament’s Environment and Planning Committee Inquiry into Ecosystem Decline in Victoria Nillumbik Shire Council is pleased to make a submission to assist the Victorian Parliament’s Environment and Planning Committee in its inquiry into Ecosystem Decline in Victoria. This submission was endorsed formally by Nillumbik Shire Councillors on 25 August 2020. Executive Summary The intent of this submission is to highlight that Nillumbik Council has limited information about biodiversity in the Shire and ecosystem health. There is evidence from Commonwealth, State and other agencies as well as local observation that biodiversity in Nillumbik makes a significant contribution of ecosystem services to greater Melbourne. Biodiversity in Nillumbik is largely the consequence of stewardship of private landowners and land reserved for nature conservation such as Kinglake National Park and Council’s Panton Hill Bushland Reserves System. There is a multiplicity of factors impacting biodiversity in Nillumbik in localised ways and many competing outcomes that Council and all landowners must manage including bushfire mitigation, safety of roads and electricity supply, in addition to biodiversity conservation. Council has management programs on public and private land for biodiversity outcomes including targeted species conservation projects as well as landscape scale projects that: are based on an understanding of priorities for biodiversity conservation; are in response to community concern; and are limited by available resources. Government could provide more support to Nillumbik (both Council and the community) in terms of funding and legislation to help understand local biodiversity values, better prioritise investment and protect biodiversity for future generations.

  • Submission to the Victorian Legislative Council Select
    FSBSC Submission 1426 Submission to the Victorian Legislative Council Select Committee Inquiry into the Restructuring of Victoria’s Fire Services as contemplated by the Firefighters’ Presumptive Rights Compensation and Fire Services Legislation Amendment (Reform) Bill 2017 7 July 2017 Nillumbik Pro Active Landowners (“PALs”) is a group of approximately 2,000 landowners, residents and ratepayers, the majority of which live in the peri urban and rural parts of the Nillumbik Shire. It was formed in early 2016 in response to unpopular proposed local planning scheme amendments. As a result of PALS legal (and electoral) actions, (which influenced eventual composition of the current Nillumbik Shire Councillor corps), the amendments did not make it into law. The group has since been tasked with representing its constituents on a range of issues considered of vital importance to their lives, families, properties and interests. As one of the areas of Victoria most impacted by the tragedy of the Black Saturday in 2009, bushfire related issues have been and continue to be at the forefront of our constituents concerns. NILLUMBIK – The Shire The Shire of Nillumbik is located less than 25 kilometres north-east of Melbourne, and has the Yarra River as its southern boundary. It extends 29 kilometres to Kinglake National Park in the north. The Shire stretches approximately 20 kilometres from the Plenty River and Yan Yean Road in the west to Christmas Hills and the Yarra escarpment in the east. The Shire covers an area of 431.94 square kilometres and has an estimated population of 64,219 who live in close-knit communities which range from typical urban settings to remote and tranquil bush properties.
