Investing $1M in the Millewa Investing $1m in the Millewa Thanks to the Australian Government’s Drought Communities Programme, we have $1 million to invest in drought-relief projects in the Millewa. All Millewa residents are invited to help decide how this grant money is spent, by voting for their three most preferred projects. Cast Your Vote You can vote for your top three projects: • Online at www.mildura.vic.gov.au/HaveYourSay • Using a voting slip at the Community Forum on Saturday 18 January. Voting is open from Saturday 18 January until Monday 3 February 2020. Only one vote is permitted per person and only Millewa residents are eligible to vote. Votes will be tallied and starting from the project with the highest score, projects will be finalised by working downwards until the $1 million budget is exhausted.

    Chapter 8. Aboriginal water values and uses Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning 8. Aboriginal water values and uses The Murray-Darling Basin Plan requires Basin states to identify objectives and outcomes of water, based on Aboriginal values and uses of water, and have regard to the views of Traditional Owners on matters identified by the Basin Plan. Victoria engaged with Traditional Owner groups in the Water Resource Plan for the northern Victoria area to: • outline the purpose, scope and opportunity for providing water to meet Traditional Owner water objectives and outcomes through the Murray-Darling Basin Plan • define the role of the water resource plans in the Basin, including but not limited to the requirements of the Basin Plan (Chapter 10, Part 14) • provide the timeline for the development and accreditation of the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan • determine each Traditional Owner group’s preferred means of engagement and involvement in the development of the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan • continue to liaise and collaborate with Traditional Owner groups to integrate specific concerns and opportunities regarding the water planning and management framework. • identify Aboriginal water objectives for each Traditional Owner group, and desired outcomes The Water Resource Plan for the Northern Victoria water resource plan area, the Victorian Murray water resource plan area and the Goulburn-Murray water resource plan area is formally titled Victoria’s North and Murray Water Resource Plan for the purposes of accreditation. When engaging with Traditional Owners this plan has been referred to as the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan and is so called in Chapter 8 of the Comprehensive Report.

Gross value of irrigated agricultural production (GVIAP) • The drought affected gross value of irrigated agricultural production was an estimated $600 million for 2008-09i. The non drought gross value of irrigated agricultural production, based on the existing area, is estimated to be $800 millionii. 3. Water entitlements (approximate) • Surface Water Long-term Cap -700 GL. • Victorian high reliability water shares 481 GL NSW High Security - 190 GLiii , NSW General security — 75 GLiv • Groundwater entitlements - negligible. 4. Major enterprises –Major enterprises for the Nyah to Border region include wine grapes, citrus, table grapes, almonds, dried fruit, and vegetables. 5. Government buyback- The Commonwealth Government buyback cannot be separated out for the Nyah to Border region as it is part of greater Murray valley buyback program. 6. Water dependence — Very high capital investment on-farm and off-farm makes the regional economy highly water dependent. 7. Current status • Nyah to Border’s regional economy of around $3 billionv has a high dependence on irrigation, with wineries, packing sheds and other food processing reliant on a consistent supply of irrigated crops. Around 25% of employment is associated with irrigated horticulture and associated manufacturing. • There is a high population of 60,000 people including 3,500 growers, 65% of whom farm 26% of the irrigation area on small farms in community districts. These districts were established as Government irrigation schemes from 1887 to 1947.

  • Sustainable Diversion Limit Adjustment
    Sustainable Diversion Limit Adjustment Phase 2 Assessment Supply Measure Business Case: Nyah Floodplain Management Project i Supply Measure Business Case: Wallpolla Island Disclaimer This business case is one of nine Victorian environmental works projects. It was developed over two years ago and submitted for assessment in early 2015 by the Sustainable Diversion Limit Adjustment Assessment Committee (SDLAAC) in accordance with the inter-jurisdictional governance procedures that pertain to the Murray Darling Basin Plan. This business case relies on assumptions, estimates and other variables that were considered true, accurate and the best available information at the time of development. As a result of queries raised during the SDLAAC assessment process, there have been changes to certain elements of some projects, including engineering designs, methods of water supply and future operation. These details have not been incorporated or encapsulated in this or any of the other eight business cases relevant to the Sustainable Diversion Limit Adjustment Mechanism within the Murray Darling Basin Plan. There has, however, been no material changes to the environmental objectives and outcomes proposed to be achieved through these projects. All nine projects will be revisited for final development once Commonwealth funding is made available. The detailed cost estimates and other commercial-in-confidence information that originally formed part of this and the other eight business cases have been deliberately omitted from this version of the document. This is in recognition that this detail is no longer relevant given the time that has passed since these business cases were originally developed, new delivery methods are applicable in some cases and to ensure that value for money is achieved when these projects are issued for tender.
