The program will enhance the efficiency of irrigation infrastructure and generate environmental flows for the State’s rivers. As part of this program, Lake Mokoan will be decommissioned. At the core of the project are three “infrastructure” measures: Decommissioning of the storage (2-3 years from now); Restoration of the study area; Provision of an alternative water supply for irrigators. In the decommissioning phase, the lake will no longer be filled via the inlet channel and the lake water levels will gradually recede, a portion of the dam wall removed, outlet gates fixed open, weirs and other control structures removed. The Lake Mokoan Future Land Use Strategy (FLUS) will address and deliver: Photo 1: Lake Mokoan Planning for the restoration of wetlands within the study area; Planning for the balance of the (dry) land and interface areas; and Planning for the inlet and outlet channel. The outcomes need to be ecologically sustainable, technically feasible and cost effective to establish and maintain. The emphasis is on achievable and affordable outcomes that meet community aspirations and can be managed and sustained at the regional level. As a separate exercise, G-MW is undertaking the studies designed to meet the needs of irrigators currently using Lake Mokoan. The focus of this strategy is on land use outcomes specifically associated with the ‘Lake area’ and the inlet and outlet channels. 22 September 2006 Page 4 Photo 2: View of Lake Mokoan from Bain Farm Photo 3: Outlet Channel Photo 4: Inlet Channel 22 September 2006 Page 5 1.3 Background 1.1 Document Overview Lake Mokoan is an off-river storage in the Broken River valley near Benalla.

This includes a detailed 7.3m.

  • Why Benalla Is a Great Choice
    About our region Why Benalla is a great choice About 14,000 people live in Benalla and the surrounding district, about two hours’ drive north-east of Melbourne via the Hume Freeway. Benalla is built on both sides of the Broken River, which generally flows in a northerly direction through the town. Damming the river near the railway at the northern end of town created Lake Benalla. Benalla is the gateway to Victoria’s High Country, which is great for those who love hiking and skiing. It is also located close to some of Australia’s best wineries. It is home to Australia’s largest gliding club, attracting pilots from around the globe to experience the area’s world renowned flying conditions. Other highlights of this beautiful town are: Benalla Art Gallery: One of the best regional galleries in Australia with works by Arthur Streeton, Frederick McCubbin, Fred Williams and Sidney Nolan. Surrounded by beautiful botanical gardens and Lake Benalla, the Art Gallery precinct is a Benalla ‘must do’. Winton Wetlands: The restoration of Winton Wetands is the largest wetland resoration project in the southern hemisphere. You can circumnavigate Lake Mokoan or enjoy the peace and tranquility of the bush with a network of bike paths snaking through the reserve. Grab lunch and a coffee at the Mokoan Hub while you’re there. Gliding over Benalla: The Gliding Club of Victoria is the largest Gliding Club in Australia.

Released to Public Domain by the author. Available: https://www.biolib.cz/en/image/id101309/. 1 Native Range and Status in the United States Native Range From CABI (2018): “C. caroliniana is native to subtropical temperate areas of northeastern and southeastern America (Zhang et al., 2003). It is fairly common from Texas to Florida, Massachusetts to Kansas in the USA, and occurs in southern Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and northeastern Argentina in South America (Washington State Department of Ecology, 2008). The species has 1 two varieties with different distributions. The purple-flowered variety C. caroliniana var. caroliniana occurs in the southeastern USA, while yellow-flowered C. caroliniana var. flavida occurs in South America.” From Larson et al. (2018): “Cabomba caroliniana A. Gray is native to southern Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, northeast Argentina, southern and eastern USA.” From Wilson et al. (2007): “In the United States fanwort has been marketed for use in both aquaria and garden ponds since at least the late 1800s, resulting in its repeated introduction and subsequent naturalization outside its original range (Les and Mehrhoff 1999).” Status in the United States Sources differ on the native or invasive status of Cabomba caroliniana in individual states (CABI 2018; Larson et al. 2018), and one source reports that it may not be native to the United

  • Future Together 6 Returning Water to Our Rivers – Lake Mokoan
    DSE3623 Lake Mokoan FA5 23/6/2004 10:48 AM Page 1 FACT SHEET Securing Our Water Future Together 6 Returning water to our rivers – Lake Mokoan Following a comprehensive 18-month study and extensive community consultation, the Government will return the constructed Lake Mokoan to a wetland. The Lake is extremely inefficient and loses five times as much water through evaporation as the Rural City of Shepparton consumes each year. The Government will commission a major program of works in the Broken Valley to ensure that there is no reduction in the reliability of water supply to irrigators currently dependent on the lake. The local community and stakeholders will be kept well informed of each step in the decommissioning process. Lake Mokoan and water loss The Government and Goulburn Murray Water will keep the local community well informed during the transition. Extensive studies have identified Lake Mokoan as extremely inefficient. In fact, Lake Mokoan loses 50,000 megalitres, The Government will work to ensure that reliability of water or the equivalent of 20,000 Olympic swimming pools, of water supply for irrigators, farmers and local users, on and around every year. Lake Mokoan, will be maintained. The dam that forms Lake Mokoan was built in 1971 as a water Fishing storage for irrigators in the Broken River and Goulburn River areas in North East Victoria. Over recent decades, anglers have regarded the lake as a popular fresh water fishing location, particularly for Flooding the former Winton wetlands systems, between Golden Perch.
