Monash Health in Berwick also provide important health care services to residents of the Shire. Representatives from both hospitals and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) were involved in the development of this plan. 2 In summary, this Service Plan tells us that the critical areas to focus on are: • improved patient safety and clinical governance • ongoing investment in staff and increased workforce capacity • stronger and more effective partnerships with other health services to ensure a range of quality services are delivered closer to where we live • smarter use of information technology to empower patients to take greater responsibility for their health in partnership with their healthcare providers • working with government to improve existing infrastructure to achieve immediate and short term benefits while developing a longer term solution. 3 Locality The West Gippsland region is defined by the southwest growth corridor from Melbourne along Casey the Princes Freeway.

  • Planning and Environment Act 1987 BAW BAW PLANNING
    Planning and Environment Act 1987 BAW BAW PLANNING SCHEME AMENDMENT C22 APPLICATION NUMBER 03130 EXPLANATORY REPORT Who is the Planning Authority? This combined amendment and permit application has been prepared by the Baw Baw Shire Council, which is the planning authority for this amendment. The combined amendment and permit application has been made at the request of Environmental Resources Management Australia Pty Ltd on behalf of Warraview Developments Pty Ltd. Land affected by the Amendment/Application. The amendment applies to part of Crown Allotment 36, Parish of Drouin West, County of Buln Buln (the north west corner of Princes Way and the Princes Highway, Drouin). What the Amendment/Application does. The subject land is currently included in the Low Density Residential Zone (LDRZ) and the Development Plan Overlay (Schedule 3). Schedule 3 to the DPO relates specifically to land included in the LDRZ. The land is located within the long-standing identified ‘boundaries’ of Drouin and has access to all necessary services. The amendment proposes to rezone the land from the LDRZ to the Residential 1 Zone (R1Z) to facilitate the subdivision of the land into lots of between 500 and 1950 square metres. The amendment also proposes to remove DPO Schedule 3 from the land and replace it with DPO Schedule 1, which relates specifically to development in the R1Z. A Development Plan (including a landscape concept plan) has been prepared in response to the requirements of Schedule 3 to the R1Z and forms part of the amendment documentation. In addition it is proposed to make a minor adjustment to the wording of Clause 21.08-3 in Council’s Municipal Strategic Statement, which Council believes incorrectly sets the context of existing and future residential development within the Shire.

I am writing to object to the proposed application by Kalbar Operations Pty Ltd (Kalbar) for a mineral sands mine at Glenaladale. East Gippsland and in particular the Gippsland Lakes (an area of 354 sqKm) has long been a holiday destination for not only Victorians but internationals due to the uniqueness with it being the largest navigatable inland lake system in Australia. Being approx 300km from Melbourne a journey to this area can involve value added overnight stays. Visitation Economy: It is recognised by both Federal and State governments that the Visitation Economy is a major way to grow the East Gippsland economy in general for the long term making it a better place to not only visit but to live whilst creating business and job opportunities. Local Federal MP The Hon. Darren Chester estimates that in 2018 the Visitor Economy for Greater Gippsland generated over $1Billion from 6.4 Million visitors. That supported more than 10,000 jobs. https://darrenchester.com.au/east-gippsland-recovery-2030-plan/ Victorian State Minister for Fishing and Boating, The Hon.
