    Snowy River Basin January 2014

    Snowy River Basin January 2014 Introduction Southern Rural Water is the water corporation responsible for administering and enforcing the Snowy River Basin Local Management Plan. The purpose of the Snowy River Basin Local Management Plan is to: • document the management objectives for the system • explain to licence holders (and the broader community) the specific management objectives and arrangements for their water resource and the rules that apply to them as users of that resource; • clarify water sharing arrangements for all users and the environment, including environmental flow requirements • document any limits, including water use caps, permissible consumptive volumes or extraction limits that apply to the system. Management objectives The objective of the Local Management Plan is to ensure the equitable sharing of water between users and the environment and the long-term sustainability of the resource. Water system covered The Local Management Plan covers all the rivers and creeks located within the Snowy River Basin, which includes: • Snowy River • Major Creek • Brodribb River • Buchan River • Deddick River • Cabbage Tree Creek • Hospital Creek The Snowy River Basin is shown in the map below. Catchment information The Snowy River flows across the NSW border to the coast at Marlo. Significant tributaries of the Snowy River include Buchan, Murrindal, Suggan Buggan, Deddick and Brodribb Rivers. The Snowy floodplain contains a complex system of drains and levee banks to support agricultural production. Heritage River status applies to the entire Victorian length of the Snowy River. The Snowy has many significant attributes including canoeing and rafting opportunities, scenic landscapes, cultural Indigenous heritage sites and native fish and fauna habitat.

Acknowledgements In producing this thesis I am indebted to many folk who have kindly helped along the way. My supervisors John Chappell and Ian Prosser were both generous with their ideas and patience. Ian was a consistent source of encouragement and support through the inevitable ups and downs of PhD research. John Chappell greatly assisted in coalescing what seemed like a swirling confusion of observations into a thesis and was ever ready with a salient geomorphic example from some exotic location to correct twisted thinking. Jon Olley deserves a special mention of thanks. Without his generous offer to provide luminescence dates, as well as his continuing encouragement, this thesis would never have been completed. Chris Leslie, Jacqui Olley and Ken MacMillan are also thanked for contributing to the luminescence dating. Damien Kelleher is truly a man worth his weight in gold. Always good company in the field, his expertise in sediment core drilling is unsurpassed and my sincerest thanks are extended to him for his efforts. Damien, along with Abaz Alimanovic, also performed the radiocarbon dating in thesis. Those who assisted in the fieldwork and put up with droughts, bushfires, snakes, stink- ing hot weather all on top of any trouble I might have caused included Martin Weisse, Chuck Magee, Paul Treble, Toshi Fujioka, Thomas Schambron, Martin Smith and Si- mon Mockler.
