This time last year, I reported to you how delighted we were to have made the transition. It was a big challenge to take on so early in the development of the Committee for Gippsland, but the Board felt strongly that it was the right thing to do for the sustainability of GCLP and the long-term future of Gippsland’s capacity to develop our own community leaders. Through this, we’ve tasked our Executive Director Mary Aldred with ensuring that GCLP has the resources to provide two excellent co-facilitators to deliver the program to our participants, a skilled Program Manager to manage GCLP effectively and engage our talented and diverse alumni community, and attract and retain GCLP’s sponsorship. The vision and mission of GCLP fits perfectly with the aspirations the Committee for Gippsland seeks to achieve for our region. As one of the longest running, and most prestigious regional community leadership programs in Australia, the Committee for Gippsland is passionate about Growing Gippsland’s Leaders. 2 Gippsland Community Leadership Program Year Book 2012 MARY ALDRED DES WYNNE Executive Director Committee for Gippsland Program Manager GCLP 2010 In 2011, the Gippsland Community Leadership Program I am delighted to be part of an amazing Gippsland entered a new stage in its lifespan under the auspice of experience.

Menkhorst Fisheries and Wildlife Division, Ministry for Conservation, Arthur Ryiah Institute for Environmental Research, 123 Brown Street, Heidelberg, Victoria 3084 Abstract The South Gippsland area of eastern Victoria is the most southerly part of the Australian mainland and is contained within the Bassian zoogeographic subregion. The survey area contains most Bassian environments, including ranges, river flats, swamps, coastal plains, mountainous promontories and continental islands. The area was settled in the mid 180()s and much of the native vegetation was cleared for farming. The status (both present and historical) of 375 vertebrate taxa, 50 mammals, 285 birds, 25 reptiles and 15 amphibians is discussed in terms of distribution, habitat and abundance. As a result of European settlement, 4 mammal species are now extinct and several bird species are extinct or rare. Wildlife populations in the area now appear relatively stable and are catered for by six National Parks and Wildlife Reserves. Introduction TOPOGRAPHY AND PHYSIOGRAPHY {see Hills 1967; and Central Planning Authority 1968) Surveys of wildlife are being conducted by The north and central portions of the area the Fisheries and Wildlife Division of the are dominated by the South Gippsland High- Ministry for Conservation as part of the Land lands (Strzelecki Range) which is an eroded, Conservation Council's review of the use of rounded range of uplifted Mesozoic sand- Crown Land in Victoria. stones and mudstones rising to 730 m.

  • Yinnar South Primary School
    NEWSLETTER Term 2 2019 GIPPSLAND YINNAR SOUTH PRIMARY SCHOOL We are super proud of the work that Yinnar South Primary School has done over the past six years to get their 5 star accreditation. They are a truly remarkable school which values both the individual qualities of their students and their local environment. The school is small and has been able to make big changes quickly due to the ongoing commitment of staff and students. The school’s vision reads: Yinnar South Primary School is committed to teaching students practical strategies that support sustainable lifestyles. We aim to reduce and responsibly dispose of waste, foster an appreciation of the environment, develop responsibility by caring for animals both tame and wild, improving biodiversity, and provide quality hands-on learning tasks, such as gardening and cooking, that will enable students to lead sustainable lives. Sustainability at the school is seen as part of the curriculum and students explore their world through this lens. The curriculum is rich in sustainability content and the students also have a much loved vegetable garden which provides nutritious food for their weekly lunches together. GIPPSLAND ResourceSmart Schools Yinnar South PS (cont) It’s hard to list all of the amazing things that this small group of dedicated students have achieved but they include: • Audits for water, waste, energy and biodiversity • Replacement of inefficient heating and cooling • Signage for energy and water savings, in particular on duel flush toilets which students found confusing • Frog bog and butterfly garden • Vegetable gardens using wicking beds, chooks and a food program • Composting, worm farms, recycling and soft plastic collections • All food is consumed inside so there is no litter • Sustainability in the curriculum in a two hour block each week • Strong connection with Landcare.
