A Socio-Economic Profile of the Loddon Mallee Region A Socio-Economic Profile of the Loddon Mallee Region Regional boundary shown in green Grey areas are below the Regional figure IRSED 1991 1,040 to 1,150 1,002 to 1,040 990 to 1,002 0 to 990 Index of Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage by Postcode for Loddon Mallee Region 1991 Interim Report January 1999 A Socio-Economic Profile of the Loddon Mallee Region Interim Report January 1999 Foreword Since 1995, the Victorian Government has undergone a period of significant restructure to meet its commitment to providing high quality and cost effective services to the people of Victoria. In the Department of Human Services, this has resulted in new business and management processes and well-articulated strategic directions. At the regional level we have developed an enhanced planning, performance analysis and contract management capability with which to implement the Department's strategic directions. To assist the Planning Branch in developing its capability, a Regional Data Unit has been established with the aims, amongst others, of: · Developing and maintaining a regional data warehousing capability; · Preparing and publishing relevant regional information sets · Assisting in the monitoring and analysis of regional information. · Providing expert advice and support to external stakeholders and Departmental staff in the provision of regional information and the use of regional databases and information sets. · Assisting in the introduction of new information technologies within the Planning Branch. A number of profiles of local government areas and the region are being prepared for publication. In 1998, A Demographic Profile of the Loddon Mallee Region was released in hard copy and on the Intranet and DHS Internet sites. This Socio-Economic Profile of the Loddon Mallee Region complements the Demographic Profile and the Environmental Profile, which is currently being prepared. All three have a regional focus. A Socio-Economic Profile of the Loddon Mallee Region draws on the various databases and indicators created by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and also presents Average Individual Incomes from the Australian Taxation Office for comparison. Data relating to income, employment and occupation are presented by age grouping. For ease of comparison, graphs are used extensively in the Profile and the data are presented in tables as appendices at the end of the document. The inclusion of an analysis of the marital status of the population is useful in raising their possible consequences for the provision of services. I trust that you will find this and the other products and services of the Regional Data Unit of value and encourage you to use them.

No part may be reproduced by any process except in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. 2 Annual Report 2006/2007 Chairperson’s Report It is with pleasure that I present this report. It has been another successful year. I would like to thank the Directors and Council Staff for their enthusiasm and co-operation. Thanks also to Karen and Donna for their work ethic, their enthusiasm and their productivity. The strong working relationship between Councils and the Group has continued as we strive to meet our regional targets of reducing waste, increased recycling and best practice waste management. I was personally pleased with Cohuna/Leitchville attaining two years plastic shopping bag free status and we had a terrific day handing out certificates with Kaye Darveniza, MP officiating the ceremony and we received lots of positive feedback from the traders as we met with each of them during the day. Across the region the continued rolling out of the plastic bag free program has been a success with 33 towns now ‘Plastic Bag Free’. Mention should also be made of the Loddon Shire and CMRWMG who received a Keep Australia Beautiful State Award for the Shire being Plastic Shopping Bag Free.
