The East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority (EGCMA) has led the development of a regional plan for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation to help understand the consequences that arise for primary producers and the regional community as a result of climate variability. Developing the Plan has provided an opportunity to listen to local community members and gain an appreciation of how climate variability impacts on individuals and the ways in which people are responding to changes in weather patterns. A variable and changing climate poses both challenges and opportunities for local producers and the broader community. Recognising valuable local knowledge, together with research and case studies, has enabled the CMA to develop options for land and natural resource managers to consider when making decisions about the future management of the region’s natural resources. The Plan: Describes what farmers, communities and organisations in East Gippsland are currently doing to adapt to seasonal variability. Highlights the likely impacts from climate change and variability across East Gippsland.

  • 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.

The current edition, published in 1987, retained the same level of national and international acclaim as its predecessors. With nationwide applicability, balancing the varied climates of Australia, the information and the approaches presented in Australian Rainfall and Runoff are essential for policy decisions and projects involving: • infrastructure such as roads, rail, airports, bridges, dams, stormwater and sewer systems; • town planning; • mining; • developing flood management plans for urban and rural communities; • flood warnings and flood emergency management; • operation of regulated river systems; and • estimation of extreme flood levels.
