The land use policies of each organisation are changing over time, and it is likely that they will be even more different in another 10 years. The Goulburn Broken CMA plays an important role as a conduit for funds for on-ground works for both land and water management, but also as co-ordinator given its responsibility for the Regional Catchment Strategy (RCS). Community engagement in both planning and works is continues to be a major focus of the Goulburn Broken CMA. Biodiversity concerns are integrated across all aspects of the RCS, while it also has sections that deal with specific biodiversity issues. The Goulburn Broken CMA has several programs that relate to biodiversity, and significant gains are being made through their implementation. It is however unlikely that long term biodiversity goals, as set out in the RCS, will be achieved given current resource levels; as the Background Report No. 1 in this series makes clear, much work is still needed to address the processes that pose problems in the Honeysuckle Creek catchment. Processes established at state government level for addressing state and national priorities in natural resource management are important drivers of change for the Goulburn Broken CMA. The interests of local businesses and communities are also important drivers, as is the economic development agenda of all levels of government. The Goulburn Broken CMA has to reconcile these different drivers. It does so in part by having community engagement as an integral part of its processes. Important drivers of change for the Goulburn Broken CMA are: • state government processes that address state and national priorities in natural resource management • the interests of local businesses and communities • the economic development agenda of all levels of government. The Goulburn Broken CMA has to reconcile these different drivers. It does so in part by having community engagement as an integral part of its processes. The situation in local government is somewhat different. Local government has a long history in Victoria, however council amalgamations in the 1990s meant that the geographic scope and ratepayer base of each council was significantly enlarged. Traditional powers of local government over planning have been extended to incorporate environmental requirements set at state and regional levels. Biodiversity concerns arise on a daily basis at council when permits are sought for a change of land use or to remove native vegetation. However, councils are often ill-equipped and under-resourced to deal adequately with these requirements. Councils are driven by pressures that require them to focus on the ‘main game’ as perceived by dominant interests amongst ratepayers. In the absence of more funds from higher levels of government, devoting more resources

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.

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).

  • Rural and Regional Services Development Committee – Inquiry Into Retaining Young People in Rural Towns and Communities
    Rural and Regional Services Development Committee – Inquiry into Retaining Young People in Rural Towns and Communities KANDO - Kinglake Action Network & Development Organisation (KANDO) Inc. Submission 12 April 2006 Kinglake Ranges Overview The Kinglake Ranges (inclusive of the communities of Toolangi, Castella, Glenburn, Kinglake, Middle Kinglake, Pheasant Creek, Kinglake West and Flowerdale) covers an area of approximately 1900 sqkm and is at its nearest point less than 50 km from the Melbourne CBD (less than one hours drive). A significant proportion of our population (estimated at > 6,000 people and growing) commute to the suburbs or city daily to work or to undertake post primary education (our youth attend over 20 different secondary schools). Historically, the community has been significantly disadvantaged, with Kinglake recording the highest unemployment and youth suicide rates in the state in the early 1990’s. Isolation and inadequate or non-existent public transport has always compounded our disadvantage. Drug and alcohol abuse, domestic / family violence and mental health issues have all been matters of concern particularly given the absolute absence of health and welfare services to the area. In recent years the area has seen a large growth in the number of young families. Our fragmented youth population makes it almost impossible to sustain junior sporting teams, despite well over 500 high school aged young people living in the wider region. Tracking young people’s transition to training, employment or further study is extremely difficult with many falling through the gaps. Local employment opportunities continue to be extremely limited. The dispersal of community members has a detrimental impact on community connectedness and social cohesion.

The repercussions of colonialism impacted beyond the Greater Bendigo area and it was necessary to extend the account of this area’s Aboriginal peoples to a Victorian context, including to trace movement and resettlement beyond this region. This Aboriginal history was drawn from historical records which include the observations of the first Europeans in the area, who documented what they saw in writing and sketches. Europeans brought their own cultural perceptions, interpretations and understandings to the documentation of Aboriginal life, and the stories recorded were not those of the Aboriginal people themselves.
