  • 21.06 ENVIRONMENT Overview Since Early European
    MOYNE PLANNING SCHEME 21.06 ENVIRONMENT //2007 C21 Overview Since early European settlement, the characteristics of the Shire have changed greatly. The majority of the land in the Shire has been converted to agriculture, whilst other land is used for purposes including urban settlement, industrial activity and manufacturing, extractive industry and recreation. Some areas including the various parks and reserves have however been retained in an essentially natural state. Overall, the condition of land, water and biological resources in the region is declining. Human activity exerts pressure on natural resources and changes the state or condition of the resources. Continuous reduction of the region’s biodiversity in turn affects the ability to use the natural resources in a sustainable way. The Glenelg-Hopkins Catchment Management Authority has prepared a Regional Catchment Management Strategy which seeks to create sustainable land management through the better coordination of government, land and water managers and the community. The strategy has identified a need to: Significantly reduce the impact of pest plants and animals on the Shire’s resources and production. Protect the region’s soil resources for the long-term benefit of all users. Balance competing demands for water while maintaining and improving water quality through responsible waterway and drainage arrangements. Protect and enhance the region’s indigenous genetic biodiversity by maintaining the extent and diversity of the various ecosystems. The Shire comprises four distinct physiographic units, as described below: The flat basalt Volcanic Plains which account for the majority of the Shire’s area. These are composed of “newer basalts” and are almost horizontal at an elevation of 150-200 metres, with only a slight inclination to the south.

The primary purpose of conducting reviews of this nature is to provide an overview as to whether public funds in programs selected for examination, are being spent in an economic and efficient manner consistent with government policies and objectives. Constructive suggestions are also provided in line with the ongoing process of modifying and improving financial management and accountability controls within the public sector. I am pleased to advise that this review has already proven to be of benefit to the government departments involved, as evidenced by their positive replies detailing initiatives already undertaken or evolving. I am also hopeful that this report will assist in resolving other issues, including the development of a policy on the use and management of public buildings. The co-operation and assistance received by my staff from the departments during the course of the review was appreciated. It is my view that there is a growing awareness by government agencies of the advantages to be gained from such reviews, particularly the provision of independent advice on areas of concern.

  • Volcanoes in SW Victoria & SE South Australia
    Volcanoes in SW Victoria & SE South Australia June 2005. The volcanic plains of western Victoria form a belt 100 km wide which extends 350 km west from Melbourne nearly to the South Australian border. In addition, several volcanoes occur near Mt. Gambier. The gently undulating plains are formed of lava flows up to 60 m thick, and are studded with volcanic hills. About 400 volcanoes are known within the region, which has been erupting intermittently for the last five million years. The youngest volcano appears to be Mt. Schank, in South Australia, which erupted about 5,000 years ago. The Aborigines would have watched this and some of the other eruptions, and they have stories of burning mountains. Further eruptions could happen, but are not likely in our lifetimes. Volcanoes erupt when molten material (called magma, in this state at about 1200°C) is forced up from great depths. On reaching the surface this may flow across the ground as lava, or be blasted into the air by gas pressure to build up cones of fragmentary material (including scoria and ash). Most of the local volcanoes erupted for only a few weeks or months, and never again – the next eruption was at a new site. In the Western District there are mainly three types of volcano, though combinations of these also occur: About half of the volcanoes are small steep-sided scoria cones built from frothy lava fragments thrown up by lava fountains. A group of about 40 maar craters near the coast were formed from shallow steam-driven explosions that produced broad craters with low rims.

  • SOME EVIDENCE from 'YAMBUK', WESTERN VICTORIA Jan Critchett
    A CLOSER LOOK AT CULTURAL CONTACT: SOME EVIDENCE FROM ‘YAMBUK’, WESTERN VICTORIA Jan Critchett The Western District of Victoria has been a favoured area of study for academics interested in the archaeology, prehistory and race relations aspects of our past. Corris, Reece, Christie, Barwick, Marcard, Massola, Critchett, Lourandos, Coutts, as well as others from the Victoria Archaeological Survey, have published work concerning the District. Yet despite the large amount of research undertaken there are many gaps in our knowledge. This is particularly so if one wants to know in detail of relations bet­ ween the two cultures, of anything more than the most general outline of racial con­ flict, or of Aboriginal responses, of adaptive behaviour by which Aborigines attempted to establish a new life-style for themselves. To find answers to such questions new sources will have to be examined. A source area so far neglected is the diaries and journals kept by many station owners and individuals. It is true that not all have been overlooked: a selected few have been over-worked. Yet there has been no systematic attempt to study these station by station. The aim of the piece of research which led to this paper was simply to take one such source, a fairly detailed one, recording events in a key area of the District and examine the extent to which it could throw further light on race relations and provide new details of Aboriginal culture. The main source used is the diaries of Annie Maria Baxter (later Dawbin).1 Annie was the wife of Lieutenant Andrew Baxter who in 1843 took up ‘Yambuk’, a small squatting property in the Western District of Victoria.

We look forward to a future at the site where people can hear more about the importance of this place from the Eastern Maar people. We pay respect to the cultural practices that take place here and Eastern Maar elders - past, present and emerging. Partnership with Eastern Maar Involving the Traditional Owners throughout the development of the Plan and business case has been vital to ensure that the values and aspirations of the Eastern Maar are captured and reflected. There are significant opportunities for Tower Hill Reserve to celebrate Country and the region’s cultural heritage – such as education, interpretation, visual and performing arts, and walks on Country. We undertook a targeted engagement process to explore these opportunities and benefits that they could realise and to develop a strong relationship with the Eastern Maar. This collaboration will also assist in the identification of other key stakeholders, and help to identify and incorporate existing relevant research and cultural heritage knowledge. 2 | Introduction This document provides a summary of engagement with stakeholders and community and demonstrates how this input has guided the Context Research development of the Activation and Linkages Plan and Business Case for 1 July - August 2019 the Tower Hill State Game Reserve.
