  • Who Does What in Water in Gippsland 2021 Acknowledgement
    Who does what in water in Gippsland 2021 Acknowledgement The West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the Traditional Land Owners and other indigenous people within the catchment area: the Gunaikurnai, the Bunurong and Boon Wurrung, and the Wurundjeri peoples. We also recognise the contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and organisations in Land and Natural Resource Management. Overview Across Gippsland there are a number of Government agencies and community groups that work together to protect our catchments and waterways and to manage water resources, supply and demand. Sometimes their boundaries overlap, but each organisation has quite a different role and offers different services. This brochure aims to inform members of the community of the major roles and responsibilities of each agency with respect to water. The following pages contain information about each organisation responsible for caring for water in the Gippsland region including their responsibilities, boundaries and contact details. Breakdown of Organisation types Water Catchment Southern Corporations Management Rural Water Authorities Agriculture Traditional Local Victoria Owners EPA Government Who does what in water 2020 / 1 Who does what Regional Urban Water Corporations • Collection of wastewater from residential and commercial customers • Treatment of wastewater before returning clean water to the environment • Supply potable water and wastewater services to homes in a city or town through a reticulated system • Manage and monitor potable water use in a city or town Southern Rural Water • Authorises and regulates licensed use of water from waterways, dams and bores for domestic and stock use, irrigation and commercial purposes • Manages large storages and surrounding recreation areas such as Blue Rock Lake, Cowwarr Weir and Glenmaggie Weir.

Glen Ehmke Photo below: Joey Scout Mia Stephenson with completed shelters The Bairnsdale Joey Scout Group recently embarked on a project to help protect the many different beach nesting bird species found across the Gippsland Lakes. BirdLife East Gippsland Project Manager, Deb Sullivan, said it was great to join forces to build the chick shelters. “Chick shelters are a really simple design,” explained Ms Sullivan. “They form a basic A-frame which is partially buried in the sand on beaches to provide protection for shore birds that nest on the beach, such as the Hooded Plover, Fairy Terns and Little Terns. Bairnsdale Joey Scout Team Leader, Genelle Hammond secured funding for the project from the Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants program.

  • Parish and Township Plan Numbers
    Parish and Township plan numbers This is a complete list of Victorian parishes and townships, together with plan numbers assigned by the Victorian Department of Crown Lands and Survey at some point between 1950 and 1970. The list has been reproduced from the Vicmap Reference Tables on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's land information website. Browse the list or use a keyword search to identify the plan number/s for a location. The plans are listed alphabetically. Townships and parishes are inter-sorted on the list. Some entries refer to locations within parishes or townships; these entries may be duplicated. The plan number can be used to locate copies of plans that PROV holds in the series VPRS 16171 Regional Land Office Plans Digitised Reference Set. For example, using the Search within a Series page on the PROV online catalogue with series number '16171' and the text '5030' will return the specific plans relating to the township of Ballarat. In this case, searching for 'Ballaarat' by name will return al the plans in the Ballarat land district, covering much of central and western Victoria. PROV does not hold copies of plans for the locations highlighted in pale yellow below. In most cases this is because parish-level plans were not created for areas such as national parks, where there were few land transactions to record. Plans showing these locations can be downloaded from the landata website under the section 'Central Plan Office Records'. 5001 Township of Aberfeldy 2016 Parish of Angora 2001 Parish of Acheron 2017
