  • Great South Coast
    Great South Coast Infrastructure Victoria is investigating infrastructure investment in regional Victoria that builds on the economic strengths of a region, or that reduces disadvantage, primarily through providing greater access to services and economic opportunities. This fact sheet is focussed on reducing disadvantage, and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying framework for reducing disadvantage through infrastructure. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide evidence that will inform the problem definition for each of Victoria’s nine regions through consultation with stakeholders. The project has a specific focus on areas that experience relatively high levels of disadvantage (ranked in the bottom 30% of the index of Socio-Economic Disadvantage, SEIFA) and this fact sheet provides indicators showing poor outcomes for key demographic groups living in these areas. Infrastructure Victoria invites key stakeholders and service providers to make submissions that provide evidence on which infrastructure could make a difference in reducing disadvantage for the region.

The purpose of the Study is to complete the identification, assessment and documentation of places of post-contact cultural significance within Corangamite Shire, excluding the town of Camperdown (the study area) and to make recommendations for their future conservation. This volume contains the Reviewed and Revised Thematic Environmental History. It should be read in conjunction with Volumes 1 & 2 of the Study, which contain the following: • Volume 1. Overview, Methodology & Recommendations • Volume 2. Citations for Precincts, Individual Places and Cultural Landscapes This document was reviewed and revised by Ray Tonkin and Samantha Westbrooke in July 2013 as part of the completion of the Corangamite Heritage Study, Stage 2. This was a task required by the brief for the Stage 2 study and was designed to ensure that the findings of the Stage 2 study were incorporated into the final version of the Thematic Environmental History. The revision largely amounts to the addition of material to supplement certain themes and the addition of further examples of places that illustrate those themes. There has also been a significant re-formatting of the document. Most of the original version was presented in a landscape format.

  • The Great Ocean Road: from Where to Where?
    The Great Ocean Road: from where to where? © Rachel Faggetter In the genre of ‘scenic routes’ the Great Ocean Road on Victoria’s southwest coast is one of the best in the world. It has compelling beauty and drama, a high-energy coastline and it winds through a region of rich natural and cultural significance. Serious consideration should be given to proposing the Great Ocean Road for inscription on the World Heritage List as a cultural landscape of international importance. Among the 690 sites on the List, 14 are Australian, none of them in Victoria. Yet this paper suggests a paradox. In the context of contemporary values about conservation and sustainability, the Great Ocean Road would probably not be built. Mention of the Great Ocean Road stirs the imagination of many Australians. Spectacular landscapes and wild seas: shipwrecks, drama and tragedy; bushfires and landslides; summer holidays and winter bushwalking; sand, surf and swimming. Drivers think of the concentrated negotiation of narrow roads and passengers remember looking down at the waves and rocks waiting at the bottom of steep cliffs. Scenic lookouts abound. Scenic is an appropriate word, for this is a constructed landscape, a deliberate arrangement designed to enhance the drama and impact of the coastline as seen through the windscreen of a motor vehicle. The traditional custodians of this country are the Wauthurong, the people who harboured escapee William Buckley for 32 years from 1803. They camped in the creek valleys to harvest the rich seafood but made their tracks and trading routes along ridges and up into the hills.
