  • Who Does What in Water in Gippsland 2021 Acknowledgement
    Who does what in water in Gippsland 2021 Acknowledgement The West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the Traditional Land Owners and other indigenous people within the catchment area: the Gunaikurnai, the Bunurong and Boon Wurrung, and the Wurundjeri peoples. We also recognise the contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and organisations in Land and Natural Resource Management. Overview Across Gippsland there are a number of Government agencies and community groups that work together to protect our catchments and waterways and to manage water resources, supply and demand. Sometimes their boundaries overlap, but each organisation has quite a different role and offers different services. This brochure aims to inform members of the community of the major roles and responsibilities of each agency with respect to water. The following pages contain information about each organisation responsible for caring for water in the Gippsland region including their responsibilities, boundaries and contact details. Breakdown of Organisation types Water Catchment Southern Corporations Management Rural Water Authorities Agriculture Traditional Local Victoria Owners EPA Government Who does what in water 2020 / 1 Who does what Regional Urban Water Corporations • Collection of wastewater from residential and commercial customers • Treatment of wastewater before returning clean water to the environment • Supply potable water and wastewater services to homes in a city or town through a reticulated system • Manage and monitor potable water use in a city or town Southern Rural Water • Authorises and regulates licensed use of water from waterways, dams and bores for domestic and stock use, irrigation and commercial purposes • Manages large storages and surrounding recreation areas such as Blue Rock Lake, Cowwarr Weir and Glenmaggie Weir.

  • Dry Seasonal Conditions in Rural Victoria
    Department of Primary Industries Dry Seasonal Conditions in Rural Victoria Report: 51 September 22, 2005 Environmental Indicators Rainfall August rainfall totals were close to normal. Over winter as a whole, rainfall was somewhat above normal in the North East and in East Gippsland, somewhat below normal in Central Victoria and in West Gippsland, and near to normal elsewhere. August had a warm spell at the end of the month following the widespread snow on the 10th. Overall daytime temperatures were 1°C above average and nightime temperatures were about average. For the 6-month period from March to August, serious to severe rainfall deficiencies extend from the far southeast of South Australia across southwest and south-central Victoria to west Gippsland. The deficiencies over southern Victoria are not as extensive or intense as they were at the end of July. The most significant rainfall in September occurred through the second week and varied from 0-5 mm in the north west to over 100 mm in pockets of the North East (Figure 1). The seasonal rainfall outlook for October to December indicates an increased likelihood of below median falls over parts of southern Victoria for the December quarter. Chances of above median rainfall are between 30 and 40% in a band extending from the far southeast of South Australia to West Gippsland. This includes most of the areas that have suffered severe short-term rainfall deficiencies since the start of autumn, and a general downturn in rainfall since the mid 1990s. The chances of a wetter than average season are between 40 and 50% over the rest of the State.

  • A Social Geography of the Mornington Peninsula (Dr Ian Manning)
    A social geography of the Mornington Peninsula (Dr Ian Manning) This article was prepared for the George Hicks Foundation as part of a background paper for a meeting of philanthropists interested in work on the Mornington Peninsula. An evaluation of the costs and benefits of providing educational assistance to disadvantaged families living on the Peninsula is provided in a separate posting. The Mornington Peninsula Shire is known as a place where people can live near the sea, perhaps within walking distance of the beach or on a bluff with a view over the bay, or perhaps among the hills within easy driving distance of the beach. The peninsula faces Port Phillip Bay across a crescent of beaches along which there is a near-continuous strip of urban development, backed by a range of hills which, once over the ridge, slope down to Westernport Bay to the east and Bass Strait to the south. Paradise? Yet not for all residents. As will be shown below, the peninsula has its disadvantaged families, some of them scattered across the shire and some of them concentrated in two main pockets of disadvantage, one centred on Rosebud West and the other on Hastings. Geographically, the peninsula contrasts sharply with the western shore of Port Phillip Bay, where a basalt plain comes down to the sea and separates Melbourne from Geelong. Though similar in distance from Melbourne to the City of Geelong (that is, 60-110 km), the peninsula lacks Geelong’s historic, independent city centre; instead, the peninsula shades from outer suburb to peri-urban; built-up to semi-rural.
