1 Wimmera Regional Catchment Strategy 2021-2027 | Appendix 3 Appendix 4: Statewide Regional Catchment Strategy Outcomes Framework
Victorian CMAs and DELWP have developed an Outcomes Framework, providing a consistent approach to monitoring and reporting on the implementation of RCSs across Victoria’s 10 catchment management regions. The framework identifies a set of standard indicators that align with Victorian Government and Australian Government policies, thereby improving the way RCSs reinforce, promote and support government policy and objectives. Improved consistency in reporting across the state will also help demonstrate how local and regional-scale contributions achieve statewide outcomes. Figure 1 (following page) shows the statewide indicators that regions will monitor and report on annually and how these contribute to Victorian Government outcomes.

We will monitor and report annually the following set of state- wide outcome and condition indicators as well as regionally specific outcome and condition measures that reflect regionally specific outcomes and Traditional Owner consultation.
