An outcome of this legislation is the requirement to prepare Statements of Planning Policy (formerly known as Localised Planning Statements) for these declared areas, which will be included as policy documents in the Victoria Planning Provisions at Clause 11.03-5S. Statements of Planning Policy are state policies for protecting and enhancing the valued attributes of distinctive areas that are vital to the functioning of Melbourne and regional Victoria. The declared areas have significant landscape, biodiversity, tourism, cultural and other assets, and because of these qualities and their proximity to Melbourne, they are experiencing increasing pressure for growth and change. This Bellarine Peninsula Landscape Assessment Review is a key input to the Bellarine Peninsula Statement of Planning Policy that is required for the Declaration Area. The landscape assessment review updates the landscape characterisation work undertaken as part of the Coastal Spaces Landscape Assessment Study (2006); identifies the most significant landscapes and views; evaluates the key townships and their relationship to the broader natural landscape; and, recommends how the findings of the review are best translated into the future Bellarine Peninsula Statement of Planning Policy.

  • DUCK HUNTING in VICTORIA 2020 Background
    DUCK HUNTING IN VICTORIA 2020 Background The Wildlife (Game) Regulations 2012 provide for an annual duck season running from 3rd Saturday in March until the 2nd Monday in June in each year (80 days in 2020) and a 10 bird bag limit. Section 86 of the Wildlife Act 1975 enables the responsible Ministers to vary these arrangements. The Game Management Authority (GMA) is an independent statutory authority responsible for the regulation of game hunting in Victoria. Part of their statutory function is to make recommendations to the relevant Ministers (Agriculture and Environment) in relation to open and closed seasons, bag limits and declaring public and private land open or closed for hunting. A number of factors are reviewed each year to ensure duck hunting remains sustainable, including current and predicted environmental conditions such as habitat extent and duck population distribution, abundance and breeding. This review however, overlooks several reports and assessments which are intended for use in managing game and hunting which would offer a more complete picture of habitat, population, abundance and breeding, we will attempt to summarise some of these in this submission, these include: • 2019-20 Annual Waterfowl Quota Report to the Game Licensing Unit, New South Wales Department of Primary Industries • Assessment of Waterfowl Abundance and Wetland Condition in South- Eastern Australia, South Australian Department for Environment and Water • Victorian Summer waterbird Count, 2019, Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research As a key stakeholder representing 17,8011 members, Field & Game Australia Inc. (FGA) has been invited by GMA to participate in the Stakeholder Meeting and provide information to assist GMA brief the relevant Ministers, FGA thanks GMA for this opportunity.

This report documents a subsequent, more extensive trial of rumble alerting strips, pavement numerals and yellow versus white longitudinal lining (edge, lane and centre lines) as individual and combined devices to increase driver awareness of the change in speed zoning. The results show the a total "WHITE ZONE' treatment is more effective than the total 'YELLOW ZONE' treatment.

    THE JOINT SELECT COMMITTEE ON FUTURE GAMING MARKETS MET IN COMMITTEE ROOM 2, PARLIAMENT HOUSE, HOBART ON FRIDAY, 18 AUGUST 2017 Ms LEANNE MINSHULL, DIRECTOR, THE AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE TASMANIA WAS CALLED VIA TELECONFERENCE AND WAS EXAMINED. CHAIR (Mr Gaffney) - Thank you, Leanne, for agreeing to discuss your paper and present to the committee. Ms MINSHULL - Thanks for the opportunity. CHAIR - We have received a copy of your report and have tabled that as part of our evidence. That is why it is important for us to speak to you, because then it can be used to help us with our report. Leanne, please give an introduction and overview of the report and how it came about. After that, members might like to ask questions about specifics within the report. Ms MINSHULL - Okay, great. I am sitting in an airport so occasionally there will get announcements in the background, but I will just plough on. The Australia Institute Tasmania is a national institute that has been in operation since about 1994. They have a long history in looking at economic policy issues, in particular jobs, unemployment and what direct and indirect jobs can be attributed to specific industries. We looked at the gaming industry, in particular, in Tasmania for two reasons. One is because we recently started a branch there. We've been open in Tasmania for about six months. It is obviously a contested issue in the community. As part of our national work we look at Australian Bureau of Statistics statistics every time the quarterly statistics come out. We noticed a few anomalies between what was being reported as direct and indirect employment in Tasmania in the gambling industry and what we would normally see using some of the ABS data.

  • Blue Carbon’ Within Corangamite
    The Distribution and Abundance of ‘Blue Carbon’ within Corangamite A report for the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority Funded by the Australian Government February 2015 Authors: Paul Carnell, Carolyn Ewers, Ellen Rochelmeyer, Richard Zavalas, Bruce Hawke, Daniel Ierodiaconou, Jonathan Sanderman and Peter Macreadie (corresponding author) Cover photo: Saltmarsh at Breamlea Executive Summary Vegetated coastal habitats—seagrasses, saltmarshes and mangroves—have recently been identified as one of the most effective carbon sinks on the planet. Such habitats can bury carbon at a rate 35-57 times faster than tropical rainforests and can store carbon for thousands of years. Recent global data estimate that vegetated coastal habitats contribute 50% of carbon burial in the oceans – termed “blue carbon”. These features make vegetated coastal habitats ideal candidates for carbon offset programs and nature-based climate mitigation initiatives. In 2014 the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CMA) identified a lack of information on the distribution and abundance of blue carbon within the catchment. Such information is critical for guiding the spatial prioritisation of conservation efforts. To address this knowledge gap, the Corangamite CMA commissioned researchers from Deakin University to conduct Corangamite’s first blue carbon stock assessment, focussing on sedimentary organic carbon. The major findings of this program are as follows: Corangamite has an estimated total blue carbon sediment stock of 431,502.02 Mg and a total carbon value of $6,472,530 over the top 30 cm of sediment at $15 Mg-1. It should be noted that because current sampling was confined to the top 30 cm of sediment, the carbon estimates given here are highly conservative.
