Cann River Economic Revival Framework Rev 1 Confidential document for Robert Gibbons negotiation © RG © 2016 7 May 2016 Economic Recovery Framework for the Cann River Community Visioning, strategies and time path Cann River is a small rural community which lies at the junction of the Princes Highway and the Monaro Highway. The former is a major Tourist Vehicle (TV) route for grey nomads and bikers between the NSW South Coast and Gippsland. The Monaro connects the ACT and Queanbeyan areas directly and the Sydney/Albury stretch of the Hume Highway. Both carry large trucking rigs, many trucking sawmill logs up into NSW. It is surrounded by State forests and the Alfred, Lind, Coopracambra and Croajingolong National Parks (all of which are of low accessibility). It lies at the northern end of the East Gippsland Shire Council which is headquartered 170 kms away in Bairnsdale. East Gippsland was a major location of hardwood sawmilling and Cann River’s population was directly related to that trade as the regional economy was not diversified; while there have been no significant rezonings for sea-change estates. The Cann River community has been damaged economically (and psychologically by local accounts) by the complete closedown of milling which started in the 1990s: APPROXIMATE* TIMBER/RELATED** YEAR* MILLS* EMPLOYMENT* POPULATION* * VicForests* * * * * *********336*(1991)* 1996* 8* 195* 246* 2007* 3* 58* 223* 2016* 0* 0* 169* THe*last*vestiges*of*tHe*last*operating*mill*closed*in*early*May*2016.**It*was*Unnoticed*after*more*significant*blows*earlier.* * The State Government’s Socio-economic impact of the timber industry in East Gippsland (2012) reported that For the Gippsland Statistical Division, it was estimated that ... there was an increase of 12% in timber industry employment from 1996-2006, which was double the Victorian average for that period. In the East Gippsland Statistical Division, it was estimated that the timber industry employed 1289 people (2.3% of all workers), but there the timber industry was severely affected by a decreased native forest harvest, which was the main contributor to a decline of 23% in forest industry employment between 1996 and 2006 – the largest of any Statistical Division in Victoria during that period. A complementary report commissioned by DPI found that in Gippsland, there were many towns and cities that are either highly dependent or significantly dependent on the timber industry for direct employment and for expenditure by forestry businesses. Listed from most dependent to least dependent, these were Heyfield, Cann River .... There are further real and urgent threats to the town’s prosperity right now. Action delayed would represent continued neglect of duty. The current situation can be summarised on the basis of observation, web searches and some direct contacts, with explanations following, with a prognosis (which is the central topic of this review, to be expanded into community engagement): ! STATE! SHIRE!COUNCIL! LOCAL!COMMUNITY! Is!“aware”!of!SWOTs*! • Coalition!MP!invisible! • Shire!is!invisible! • UncoDordinated,!unequal!and! divided!

Devotes!resources!to!“opportunities”! • No! • No! • No! *! Strengths and weaknesses (internal) and Opportunities and Threats (external). East Gippsland is a complex situation and it should not surprise that there a troublespot or two. The prognosis resulting from this “scan” report is: 2 • The community cannot resolve its local problems without an intervention that informs and challenges on the basis of data and reality • The area’s “brand” is dead but a new one is latent in the locale and its birthing is the top priority so that subsequent actions are soundly-based • The 1994 amalgamation of five councils to form one Shire can be seen to have had negative and not unexpected results, most especially a managerial preoccupation with operational blow-ups rather than strategic matters, and a loss of awareness of and influence over real- world “place” situations. Conversely, expectations must be managed so the community works within practicalities. CONTENTS SWOT and “vision” 2 Assets 4 Retail 4 Coaches 4 Skills 4 Strategy: 5 governance, engagement and decision Appendix: State and regional policy and 7 strategy documents SWOT & VISIONING The SWOT is a useful way of summarising a lot of information in a concise and clear format. It is more useful with an index map: There are two motels, a small one at the start of the Monaro Monaro' and another on the Princes (old Highway' and new sections on either Orbost' Mallacoota' side). The Hotel is on left or Cann'River' south of the Monaro, opposite Ex'petrol' Princes'Highway' station' the United servo which functions as a coach layover Retail'strip' Coach' layover' (Cann is roughly half way Disused' Possible'BMX'' soccer'field' and'cycling' between Bairnsdale and # #Park# Batemans Bay).

The only supermarket is opposite the United and then follow four bakery cafes, Wild Rye being famous. On the other side is Relics café and a vintage goods shop. The Post Office and Police Station are a little way up the Monaro. The River and van park are well-known but the sawmills, soccer field and nature tracks are hidden gems (potentially). 3 Great&natural&beauty&in&the&trees,&walks&and& Spatial&monopolies&in&local&business&sectors&–& remotely&on&the&sea5line& service&stations,&supermarket,&motels&and&hotel& The SWOT leans towards the negative side which is Skilled&people&in&the&timber&industry,&those& Poor&service&standards&in&most&businesses&outside& left&or&nearby& cafes,&Post&Office& how the locals see the situation – high prices, erratic Limited&coach&timetable& Café&culture& Lack&of&motor&servicing&facilities&(adverse&reports& opening hours, lack of RV parking and so on.

A pedestrian crossing would need to be & Aerial&models& & BMX&and&pushbike&tracks&off&soccer&field& marked. Expedition&service&to&beaches&and&Point&Hicks& Eco5lodges&in&bush& The Hotel was negatively regarded in terms of erratic closing times and possible usage of closed rooms for casual accommodation contrary to fire and other defects. Its potential and the supermarket’s are negatived. Corporate commitment is apparently non-existent in general terms. The “place” is so good that many things are possible. In this context, “visioning” is about moving from one reality, the timber one, from the 1980s, to a self-image that will last for decades to come. The likely direction is to move from “resource” to “heritage” and to labour-intensive recreation jobs, something like: • From tall timbers to sandy shores • Forest and beaches – heritage works for us • Heritage works for us • Break your journey in nature’s beauty • From the forest giants to the rolling waves • Building on nature’s beauty in Cann River. Facilities and programs, people, and land and buildings need to be gathered into options which will be discussed with all government, industry and community stakeholders and the Shire Council. The emphasis will be on creating the environment which stimulates sustainable employment-generating activities. There might be grants and contributions for facilities. Giving the community a sense of ownership might be the key element in Cann River’s recovery. Lessons learnt from the regional economics literature and personal studies point to the need to build on what we have rather than pick winners through importing bright ideas. Sometimes, as here, the inherent “weaknesses and threats” in SWOTs are more significant than the “strengths and opportunities”.

Logging, bushfires, industrial scale landscape-wide planned burns and drought resulting from land clearance and climate change have reduced the availability of food for this species to the extent of causing an east coast mass starvation event in 2019. Each year extreme heat is increasing and killing thousands of flying foxes. These threats to Grey-headed flying foxes are a threat to biodiversity because east coast forests rely on flying foxes for effective reproduction. We are watching Grey-headed flying-foxes go extinct. We have deep concerns for the wider implications of the health and sustainability of natural forests in this region, and the entire east coast if the GHFF are removed from the landscape, or they become unable to travel across the landscape as roost sites and foraging areas become more fragmented and less reliable. This extreme decline in Victoria’s biodiversity is the result of human activity and we can change that to prevent ecosystem destruction now.

Compiled by Lois Crisp. SHIRE OF CROAJINGALONG/ ORBOST MAY 1892 The new Shire was approximately 4,200 square miles John D. Adams wrote in The Tambo Shire Centenary History, “An in area, covering the whole eastern corner of Orbost meeting in February 1891 endorsed the idea of a separate Victoria. Shire and a committee worked out the boundaries of the proposed Shire. They were to include all of the Snowy River and Bendoc Ridings with the western boundary running from the junction of the Bell’s Point Road with the Bruthen Cunninghame Road and south to the lakes along the western boundary of the Parish of Colquhoun. Cunninghame, Lake Tyers and Nowa Nowa were to be the new West Riding of the Shire”. [The original Shire of Tambo was formed in 1882 and covered a wide area including the Orbost district which was represented by Councillors of the Snowy River Riding, James Cameron, Charles Grove, and William Watt]. Early in 1892 the idea of severing a section from Tambo Shire for the new Shire of Croajingalong was revived and a petition was published in April with the blessing of the Lakes Entrance district people, William Hunter from Cunninghame, was one of three delegates who went to Melbourne to put the petition, and “within a week their efforts were rewarded”.
