It contains a CD attached to the back cover that contains Parts 1- 4. • Part 2 Site Specific Action Plans This contains action plans for six specific areas where the methodology has been applied. This information includes a catchment map showing sites known to be subject to recreational use. The mapping will be built on as further reaches are assessed. This information is contained on the CD. The maps can be upgraded as additional recreation sites are identified or developed and additional site attributes developed. • Part 3 Assessment Methodology This outlines the methodology, guidelines and kits to assist in assessment of recreation impacts. This information is on the CD and can be added to as further reach assessments occur or for individual new recreation developments. • Part 4 Appendices This includes a literature review, community consultation outcomes and the demand analysis. This information is available on the CD. As new information becomes available it is possible to add it to this section, so there is a central depository for all recreational waterway knowledge that would assist in further reviews of the strategy or work programs implementation. This document is Part 1. Strategy.

Page 2 ID&A with Jeavons RTP Recreational Waterway Strategy Foreword The upper Goulburn River Catchment provides us with some of Australia’s most spectacular, rugged, pristine and beautiful waterways. The area has become very popular for recreation due in part to these special features and the area’s close proximity to Melbourne. This strategy has been prepared to ensure the natural values of the area are adequately protected, long-term recreation use is sustainable and stream health is maintained or improved. It has been developed using information obtained through community consultation, research and on ground assessment under the direction of a steering committee consisting of community representatives, government organisations, local government authorities and the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority (GBCMA). Wide consultation and healthy debate has led to a commitment by Government agencies to adopt a partnership approach to existing and new developments. The Upper Goulburn Implementation Committee will establish partnerships with agencies, land managers and Local Government to progressively apply the methodology developed through this study to: • identify and promote sustainable levels of recreation • implement projects that enhance recreation activities along waterways in the catchment. I trust that this strategy will become a valuable planning tool and reference guide long into the future. Robert Dare Chair, Steering Committee ID&A with Jeavons RTP Page 3 Recreational Waterway Strategy Executive Summary Background The upper reaches of the Goulburn River catchment are home to some of Victoria’s most scenic waterways, popular for recreational pursuits such as fishing, canoeing, bush walking, camping and horse riding and also providing some of the highest quality water and native habitat in Victoria. The need to protect and improve the health of waterways and their surrounding environment is cited in the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority’s (GBCMA) Regional Catchment Strategy and various sub-strategies and action plans. The Steering Committee has developed: • a broad strategy for managing recreational development along waterways in the upper Goulburn catchment. (Part 1) • key actions for six stream reaches in the catchment and identified recreational sites throughout the catchment. (Part 2) • a methodology using a stream health indicator (Index of Stream Condition), established environmental standards

  • 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).

That is unless you are an avid lake fisherman who does not mind stalking fish in the wide range of lakes that we have available to us across Victoria. Winter is also a good time to start thinking about non fishing activities such as refining your casting technique, checking all your gear and tying a few flies. Remember that Paul Harris runs a casual fly tying session on the third Thursday of each month at the clubrooms from 7.30pm. Also stay tuned for details about our Winter Fly Tying Course that will commence in early August. We once again had great attendance at both our May Members night and General Meeting with our guest speaker Travis Dowling (Director of Fisheries Victoria) drawing a strong crowd.

  • The District Encompasses Central Victoria and the Lower Part of Central New South Wales
    The District encompasses central Victoria and the lower part of central New South Wales. It extends north to Deniliquin, across to Holbrook, Corryong and south to Melbourne's northern suburbs from Heidelberg to Eltham in the east and Sunbury in the west. Rotary District 9790, Australia consists of 61 Clubs and approximately 1800 members. The Rotary Club of Albury is the oldest in the District, being admitted to Rotary International on 2nd November, 1927. In 1927 the District system was first introduced and Albury was in District 65, the territory being the whole of Australia. Other Clubs of our present District followed; Corowa (July) 1939 and Benalla (November) 1939, Wangaratta 1940, Euroa and Yarrawonga-Mulwala 1946, and Shepparton 1948. In 1949 District 65 became District 28, being Tasmania, part of Victoria east of longitude 144 Degrees and part of New South Wales. Deniliquin came in 1950, Wodonga 1953, Myrtleford, Cobram and Seymour 1954 and Heidelberg and Coburg 1956. In 1957 Districts were renumbered and District 28 became District 280, then came Numurkah 1957, Bright and Finley 1959, Kyabram and Preston 1960, Tatura and Broadmeadows 1962, Albury North and Nathalia 1963, Tallangatta and Mooroopna 1964, followed by Alexandra and Thomastown in 1966, Mansfield and Corryong 1967, Greenborough 1968, Reservoir 1969, Albury West 1970 and Appin Park 1972 (now Appin Park Wangaratta). On July 1, 1972 District 280 was divided into two, and the above Clubs became the new District 279. Since then the following Clubs have been admitted to Rotary International: Kilmore/Broadford (1972) (now Southern Mitchell); Sunbury, Eltham, Beechworth and Heidelberg North (1973) (now Rosanna); Shepparton South and Belvoir-Wodonga (1974); Fawkner (1975); Pascoe Vale (1976); Strathmore-Gladstone Park (1977) (now Strathmore), Albury Hume and Healesville (1977); Shepparton Central (1983); Wodonga West (1984); Tocumwal, Lavington, Craigieburn, Holbrook and Mount Beauty (1985); Jerilderie, Yea and Bellbridge Lake Hume (1986); Rutherglen, Bundoora and Nagambie (1987).
