Authorised by the State Government of Victoria, 50 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne. Printed on sustainable paper by Impact Digital, Unit 3-4, 306 Albert St, Brunswick 3056 March 2011 (1101024) Foreword The provision of safe drinking water to Victoria’s urban and rural communities is essential for maintaining public health and wellbeing. In Victoria, drinking water quality is protected by legislation that recognises drinking water’s importance to the state’s ongoing social and economic wellbeing. The regulatory framework for Victoria’s drinking water is detailed in the Safe Drinking Water Act 2003 and the Safe Drinking Water Regulations 2005. The Act and Regulations provide a comprehensive framework based on a catchment-to-tap approach that actively safeguards the quality of drinking water throughout Victoria. The main objectives of this regulatory framework are to ensure that: • where water is supplied as drinking water, it is safe to drink • any water not intended to be drinking water cannot be mistaken for drinking water • water quality information is disclosed to consumers and open to public accountability.

  • Freycinet Resort Development

    Freycinet Resort Development

    FREYCINET RESORT Expansion and Development Plans DESCRIPTION Stylish, comfortable accommodation in a wilderness setting on Tasmania’s beautiful East Coast. Freycinet Resort is a ten-cabin ecofriendly resort situated at Mt. Paul on the edge of the Freycinet National Park near Coles Bay on Tasmania’s beautiful East Coast. The resort has received development approval from Glamorgan Spring Bay Council to build an additional 28 units as visitor accommodation, a redeveloped reception, restaurant, and amenities building as well as a number of additional units as staff accommodation. The resort aims to provide a luxury experience for a reasonable price, striving for superior customer service for its guests. Situated on top of Mt. Paul the resort boasts skylines to both Friendly Beaches and across the Freycinet Peninsula. It is peppered with high quality art – sculptures and installations for visitors to experience as they wander the property. We also have a license to operate a guided walking experience through the fire trails and tracks of the Freycinet National Park which will be operated with the Resort as its base. Once the resort is increased in size to 38 units and with the guided walking experience that resort will contribute to the goal of increased visitation. Once the Tasmanian borders are open to tourists once again this will be a key contribution to East Coast tourism visitation and yield and the recovery from the impact of COVID-19. Aligning strongly with the T21 Visitor Economy Action Plan 2020-2022 this development will contribute to the recovery from the effects of COVID-19 on our tourism sector.

    YOUR CANDIDATES METROPOLITAN First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria Election 2019 “TREATY TO ME IS A RECOGNITION THAT WE ARE THE FIRST INHABITANTS OF THIS COUNTRY AND THAT OUR VOICE BE HEARD AND RESPECTED” Uncle Archie Roach VOTING IS OPEN FROM 16 SEPTEMBER – 20 OCTOBER 2019 Treaties are our self-determining right. They can give us justice for the past and hope for the future. The First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria will be our voice as we work towards Treaties. The First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria will be set up this year, with its first meeting set to be held in December. The Assembly will be a powerful, independent and culturally strong organisation made up of 32 Victorian Traditional Owners. If you’re a Victorian Traditional Owner or an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person living in Victoria, you’re eligible to vote for your Assembly representatives through a historic election process. Your voice matters, your vote is crucial. HAVE YOU ENROLLED TO VOTE? To be able to vote, you’ll need to make sure you’re enrolled. This will only take you a few minutes. You can do this at the same time as voting, or before you vote. The Assembly election is completely Aboriginal owned and independent from any Government election (this includes the Victorian Electoral Commission and the Australian Electoral Commission). This means, even if you vote every year in other elections, you’ll still need to sign up to vote for your Assembly representatives. Don’t worry, your details will never be shared with Government, or any electoral commissions and you won’t get fined if you decide not to vote.
