The First Peoples of the River Murray and Mallee Region (FPRMM) and the Ngarrindjeri Nation have occupied, enjoyed, managed and used their inherited lands and waters of the River Murray, Lakes and Coorong since time immemorial. They pay respect to their Creators, ancestors, elders, and young people who have cared for their country since creation. South Australian River Murray Long-Term Environmental Watering Plan Page i of 164 Foreword Sustainable management of freshwater resources into the future is one of the most critical challenges facing global communities. By international standards, significant progress towards more sustainable management practices has been made in the Murray-Darling Basin with numerous policy and legislative reforms, and roll-out of on-ground river and wetland restoration programmes, including infrastructure to aid in environmental water management. Perhaps most significantly within the Basin has been the decision under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan (2012) to commit to returning 2,750 GL of water to the system. This is a key step towards restoring some of the balance between meeting the needs of the environment while still providing for productive industries and communities, including water for irrigation and critical human water needs. Despite the efforts made to date, ongoing and concerted effort will be required to restore a healthy, working Murray-Darling Basin. South Australia, in partnership with other Basin States, the Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA), the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (CEWH), local communities and non-government organisations, is progressing well in implementing the Basin Plan, including the environmental water management framework set out in Chapter 8 of that document. To this end, South Australia is pleased to present this long-term environmental watering plan. It is the first to be developed for the South Australian River Murray Water Resource Plan Area in accordance with the environmental management framework within the Basin Plan and is based on the most recent available scientific knowledge and understanding of the South Australian River Murray ecosystem. This long-term plan complements and builds on the 2014 release of the Basin-wide Environmental Watering Strategy by the MDBA, as well as work completed in South Australia’s annual environmental watering plans and many long-running environmental water management projects.

    __/ Mid v--- Murray Council FROM THE OFFICE OF THE MAYOR Ref: 5/LIA/1/MM 15 December 2020 Mr Michael Lennon Chair State Planning Commission GPO Box 1815 ADELAIDE SA 5001 Dear Mr Lennon, Consultation Submission – Revised Planning and Design Code Thank you for the opportunity to provide comment on the revised Planning and Design Code. Mid Murray Council are a Phase 3 Council and see this as the final opportunity to ensure our local policy, particularly, as it relates to the sensitive River Murray environment is not lost or eroded. Please find below a detailed submission which has been endorsed by Council’s Strategic Planning and Policy Development Committee, as well as the full Council. Preamble The purpose of this submission is threefold, firstly to consider the new Zones of the Code and how certain Zones and Policy Areas (within the Development Plan) are to be transitioned, and consider whether the ‘right’ choice has been made for the Zone. If not, suggestions are tabled as to what might be a more suitable Zone given the context outlined. Secondly, the submission seeks to flesh out whether there are opportunities in limited circumstances where there is obvious disparity between the existing built form and landscape character to the zoning intent of the current Zone or Policy Area, and in these circumstances consider an appropriate Zone in the Code that might be more reflective and cognisant of the existing situation and perhaps sway away from unrealistic policy of the current Zone in the context to a more appropriate Code Zone. For example, parts of the Urban Waterfront (Floodplain) Zone containing dwellings and riverfront residential allotments being transitioned to a Recreation Zone (which contemplates, among other things, sporting grounds) would appear to suggest an alternative Zone might be appropriate.

The study area was the floodplain of the Murray River and its anabranches, including the Edward-Wakool system, from below Hume Dam to the upper end of Lake Alexandrina. The components of the study were: · Literature Review A comprehensive bibliography was compiled on the floodplain vegeta­ tion, its environment and the impact ofman's activities. The literature was reviewed and summarised. · Floristic Survey A field survey was carried out, visiting 112 sites throughout the study area and collecting vegetation data from 335 plots. Data collected were the species present, their relative abundance, the condition of the eucalypts, the amount ofeucalypt regeneration and indices ofgrazing pressure. Brief studies were made of the effects of river regulation and salinisation at specific sites. Thirty-seven plant communities were identified from a numerical analyis ofthe floristic survey data. The differences reflect environmental changes both along the river and across the floodplain. The most important factors were identified as soil salinity levels and flooding frequency.

  • SOLUTIONS and ACTIONS Murray and Mallee Region
    SOLUTIONS AND ACTIONS Murray and Mallee Region Murray and Mallee Region Major regional centres: Murray Bridge and Berri With a population approaching 68,900 people, the Murray and Mallee region is expected to grow at a rate of 0.4 per cent per annum to around 75,230 people by 2036. It is important to note however that Murray Bridge, which forms part of The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide, is expected to grow at a more significant rate. Significant land to the south of the South Eastern Freeway, for example, has been rezoned for residential development to support growth in Murray Bridge. While the River Murray remains the focus of the region’s economy, the area has undergone significant economic restructuring in recent years as a result of prolonged drought conditions between 2006 and 2010. Key economic activities are based on primary production and include horticulture, viticulture, dairying, intensive livestock production and associated processing activities. The river also provides a strong focus for tourism. With three major interstate highways passing through this region, there are significant opportunities to improve the efficiency of freight movement to key port and airport facilities in Adelaide and markets in Victoria and New South Wales. Upgrades to the Sturt, Mallee, and Princes Highways as well as key access roads across the region will be progressively undertaken to make the most of these economic opportunities, providing the impetus for increased development at key centres along these routes. These safety and capacity improvements will also support increased tourist and passenger movements to destinations across the region.
