It has the nation's most comprehensive reserve system forming the cornerstone for the sustainable use of Victoria's terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. In 2020, these 'jewels in Victoria's crown' are highly valued by the local community and international visitors. As our understanding of the biodiversity of Victoria increased many 'conservation' issues were resolved because there was an increased awareness of what each component added to the health of the environment.

  • MEDIA RELEASE for Immediate Release
    MEDIA RELEASE For Immediate Release 23 January 2017 Alpine Resorts Governance Reform Discussion paper On the 1st January 2017, the Southern Alpine Resort Management Board became the committee of management for both Lake Mountain and Mount Baw Baw Alpine Resorts replacing the previous individual boards. Today the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change Lily D’Ambrosio released a Discussion Paper: Alpine Resorts Governance Reform in which the paper outlines the approach to improving the governance of the alpine sector. The paper and links to key documents are available on Engage Victoria’s website: https://engage.vic.gov.au/alpine-resort- futures/governance Importantly to note, this reform process is an element of a wider sectoral reform program, including the Southern Alpine Resorts Reform Project. Government has been provided with the initial project report for Mount Baw Baw and Lake Mountain 2030 in late 2016 and has requested additional work from the Southern Alpine Resort Management Board that is due to be submitted by 10 February for consideration by the Minister. The government has informed the board that it is committed to making decisions about Lake Mountain and Mount Baw Baw Alpine Resorts as soon as practicable after receiving this supplementary report. The board has considered and discussed the Discussion Paper and intends to develop a formal written submission which it is committed to lodging by the closing date 17 February, 2017. The board invites you to consider the governance reform Discussion Paper and encourage stakeholders the opportunity to either submit a response to the questions in the discussion paper on the Engage Victoria website or to the board.

  • Australian Alps Education Kit – Teacher's Notes
    teacher’s notes for THE AUSTRALIAN ALPS The Australian Alps, in all their richness, complexity and power to engage, are presented here as a resource for secondary students and their teachers who are studying... • Aboriginal Studies • Geography • Australian History • Biology • Tourism • Outdoor and Environmental Science ...with resources grouped within a series of facts sheets on soils, climate, vegetation, fauna, fire, Aboriginal people, mining, grazing, water catchment recreation and tourism, conservation. EDUCATION RESOURCE TEACHER’S NOTES 1/7 teacher’s notes This is an education resource catering for the curriculum needs of students at Year 7 through 12, across New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria. The following snap- shots show the Australian Alps as an effective focus for study. • The alpine and sub-alpine terrain in Australia is extremely small, unique and highly valued as a water supply as well as for its environmental, cultural, historic and recrea- tional significance. • Most of the Australian Alps lie within national parks with state and federal governments working cooperatively to manage these reserves as one bio-geographical area. • Climate, landforms and soils vary as altitude increases and so create a variety of envi- ronments where different plants grow together in communities. These in turn provide habitats for a wide range of wildlife. Many of these plants and animals are found nowhere else in the world and some are considered threatened or endangered. • The Alps reflect a history of diverse uses and connections including Aboriginal occupation, European exploration, grazing, mining, timber saw milling, water harvesting, conservation, recreation and tourism. Retaining links with this past is an important part of managing the region.

  • Victorian Alps Impacts Evidence, Process and Progress for Feral Horse Control in the Victorian Alps
    1.6 VICTORIAN ALPS IMPACTS EVIDENCE, PROCESS AND PROGRESS FOR FERAL HORSE CONTROL IN THE VICTORIAN ALPS Dr Mark Norman Chief Conservation Scientist, Parks Victoria Representing just 0.3% of the Australian mainland, Australia’s alpine ecosystems are both rare and unique. Today, they endure a wide range of human-derived pressures, from diverse invasive species, to impacts of recreational activities, infrastructure development and the many manifestations of climate change. Over the past two years, Parks Victoria and the Victorian State Government have been developing the Protection of the Alpine National Park – Feral Horse Action Plan 2018–2021 (adopted June 2018). This presentation will review some of the history of Victorian feral horse research and management, and the evidence underpinning this plan. It will also discuss the social and political context and issues, the process by which the plan was developed, the proposed approach and the ongoing challenges. Feral horses are present in two separate Victorian alpine regions: the eastern Alps adjacent to Kosciuszko National Park (about 2,500 horses based on 2014 aerial survey); and the more isolated Bogong High Plains (estimated 106 horses, 2018 aerial survey). Victoria has a long history of alpine ecological research and active management of feral horses. Australia’s second longest-running ecological monitoring site was established in 1944 by botanist Maisie Carr at Pretty Valley in the Bogong High Plains (Carr and Turner 1959a, 1959b). Exclosure plots and impact assessments of domestic stock at this and nearby sites led to the total removal of sheep and horses from the Bogong High Plains in 1946.

Adjacent to Mt Buller it is popular with cross-country skiers, bushwalkers, campers and school groups, it is also home to many threatened plant and animal species. The Victorian National Parks Association has launched a push for the Mt Stirling area to be managed as a national park by linking it to the Alpine National Park and handing its management to Parks Victoria. It can then be managed as an integral part of Victoria’s largest national park, improving ecological management, recreation experiences and the overall integrity of our alpine region.

  • Grazing and the Australian Alps Factsheet
    grazing in THE AUSTRALIAN ALPS Grazing once took place in many different parts of the Australian Alps, the number of sheep or cattle in an area depending on climate, terrain and the amount of food available. On the highest mountain plateaus there were permanent freehold runs where seasonal grazing of sheep and cattle took place. At lower elevations pastures were also grazed but, in summer, when these areas became dry and sparse, the high plains offered cooler temperatures and higher rainfall supporting lush native grasses and herbs. These alpine areas also provided a precious food supply for sheep and cattle in times of drought. Records show that graziers were taking sheep and cattle into and across the mountains in the early 1820s in search of new pastures which were free of drought and disease. An 1834 newspaper report mentioned cattle at Gibson’s Plains (Kiandra) and some families claim that their forebears were in the area in the 1820s. EDUCATION RESOURCE GRAZING 1/6 grazing Some graziers came to depend on public land for summer grazing. In the first half of the 1900s it was a common practice to burn to encourage new growth of grass shoots. As a result, frequent burning became an important part of grazing in many parts of the high country, particularly where sheep were grazed. In the early days governments encouraged graziers to use the high country to feed their the history cattle and sheep, with sheep being grazed much more extensively in NSW than in Victoria. of high country Governments in Victoria and New South Wales introduced a system of annual licences, grazing giving graziers the right to graze an area of alpine pasture.
