There are four major elements of the project: a) Collection and transfer of NRE and other authorities flood information - a data review and management process. b) Recording and analysing the flood information in a Geographical Information System (GIS). c) Reorganisation of the source flood data under a new cataloguing system for re- storing at NRE. d) Preparation of reports and mapping to record a), b) and c) A key output of the flood data transfer project is the formulation of Flood Data Maps which detail all captured data and Flood Planning Maps which provide 1% AEP1 Flood Extent and Floodway delineation. Both the 1% AEP Flood Extent and Floodway mapping are critical input to the flood management and land use control processes being developed by the CMAs and Local Government. Dialogue with municipalities was a key element of the project. This included soliciting information from them and seeking advice regarding towns to be mapped in detail and the accuracy and presentation of reports and mapping. The Floodway and 1% AEP Flood Extent mapping has only been carried out for locations where information was available and of sufficient quality to justify delineation. Hence, the extent of Floodway and 1% AEP Flood Extent mapping is not a comprehensive coverage of all flood plains or all flooding problem areas. The Flood Data maps provide a record of available past mapping and as such known problem areas. Ã$QQXDOÃ([FHHGDQFHÃ3UREDELOLW\ VV8159.087 VV8159.087.Rev0 1 DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT River Basin Report - Glenelg Basin The project requires delivery of three levels of reporting, namely: • Flood Mapping Reports - are, as stated in the Brief, to provide an easy to use reference source for flood information at the municipal scale in support of planning and other related activities; • River Basin Reports - are, as stated in the Brief, to provide an easy to use reference source for flood information at the river basin scale. The river basin reports will be a major source document on flooding for CMAs in the delivery of floodplain management services. • A Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Report - an aggregate report covering those parts of the three river basin reports within the Glenelg Hopkins CMA operating area. Digital maps in GIS format facilitate access to flood information that can be readily, reviewed, analysed and amended. This River Basin Report is for the Glenelg Basin. 1.2 Areas of Responsibility The area covered by this report is the Glenelg Basin as shown in Figure 1.1, Locality Plan. Figure 1.1 highlights the following: • Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority has jurisdiction over almost all of the Glenelg Basin including that within the project area. • part or all of the municipalities of Glenelg, Southern Grampians, Ararat, Northern Grampians, Horsham and West Wimmera are within the Glenelg Basin. The particular areas of responsibility are summarised in Table 1.1. The river systems covered are the Glenelg River, the Wannon River, Bryan’s Creek and Grange Burn.

VV8159.087 VV8159.087.Rev0 4 DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT River Basin Report - Glenelg Basin 2 FLOODING CHARACTERISTICS 2.1 Available Information The available information on flooding is in the following categories: • Aerial photos of the August 1981 floods of the Glenelg and Wannon Rivers. • Non-flood aerial photography. • Old and new format planning schemes. • Designated and historic flood levels for the Glenelg River at Casterton. • Old Shire of Glenelg Rural Land Mapping. • Topographic and Geological Mapping. • Sketched 1946 extent of flooding for the Bryan’s Creek at Coleraine • One report which has relevance to this project is: − Lake Hamilton Spillway / Grange Burn Flooding Investigation Second Report City of Hamilton, October 1992 – this investigation determined 1% AEP flood levels for the Grange Burn through the City of Hamilton. 2.2 Drainage Characteristics The Glenelg Basin as shown on Figure 2.1 consists of the Glenelg River and its tributaries, the main one being the Wannon River. Most of the tributaries and the upper section of the Glenelg River run in a WSW direction before joining the Glenelg River which flows south through a gorge section to the ocean. 2.2.1 Glenelg River The Glenelg River starts in the Grampians National Park, passes through the Rockland Reservoir and continues in a westerly direction forming the boundary between the Shire of West Wimmera and the Shire of Southern Grampians until Chetwynd East. From here it starts to flow in a more southerly direction forming the boundary of the Shire of West Wimmera and the Shire of Glenelg briefly near Dergholm.

They can have a wide range of effects and impacts on the human and physical environment, and can generate complex needs in dealing with them. The term “Emergency” has been defined in the Emergency Management Act 2013 (S.3) means an emergency due to the actual or imminent occurrence of an event which in any way endangers or threatens to endanger the safety or health of any person in Victoria or which destroys or damages, or threatens to destroy or damage, any property in Victoria or endangers or threatens to endanger the environment or an element of the environment in Victoria, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing- • An earthquake, flood, windstorm or other natural event; and • A fire; and • An explosion; and • A road accident or any other accident; and • A plague or an epidemic or contamination; and • A warlike act or act of terrorism, whether directed at Victoria or a part of Victoria or at any other State or Territory of the Commonwealth; and • A hijack, siege or riot; and • A disruption to an essential service." The economic and social effects of emergencies including loss of life, destruction of property, and dislocation of communities, are inevitable.

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.

  • Funding Information Tour for Artists and Communities Across the State
    MEDIA RELEASE Wednesday 24 April 2019 Funding information tour for artists and communities across the state Regional Arts Victoria, the Australia Council for the Arts and Creative Victoria, welcome Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) this year, adding an important regional voice to a funding information tour across the state from Monday 20 May – Friday 24 May. The information sessions welcome enquiry from regional artists and arts organisations about what opportunities most suit the needs of their creative practice. The tour is also reciprocal in creating the opportunity for federal and state funding bodies being available and accessible to regional and remote areas of the state. “There is no better way to understand the needs of the artists and arts organisations than being present in these areas,” says Liz Zito, Regional Arts Victoria’s Director of Partnerships. Delivered in four different locations of the state, this year’s tour aims to connect ‘remote artists’ with information and opportunities that are offered through the Regional Arts Fund, and other federal and state funding bodies. The four locations are Portland, Kaniva, Warracknabeal and Maryborough. Impacts from this type of tour are four-fold. The organisations and funding become more accessible to communities. There is greater connection within communities between the people interested in funding. Relationships between the four organisations are better developed and informed by community, and the collegiate support grows between the four touring organisations. Sharing funding information in this manner is a strategic and coordinated approach to meeting the needs of regional and remote Victoria. “The partnership continues to be very successful.” Partnerships Coordinator, Edwina Guinness has instigated the tour and leads the delegates from the other funding bodies on the road trip.
