This strategy has been developed with the vision of protecting our drinking water, our community, and our environments from wastewater pollution. Drinking water and sewerage provision is beyond the scope of this strategy, and is a matter for management by the relevant water corporation. Instead, the focus remains on domestic wastewater management systems designed for daily wastewater flows of 5000 litres or less. The strategy identifies a number of actions for the City of Greater Bendigo to undertake in improving wastewater management. Some of the actions involve the partnership of other stakeholders, particularly in developing minimum standards for the industry, yet most actions are the responsibility of the Environmental Health Department, Statutory Planning, and the Strategic Planning Unit . Most actions presented in the strategy fall within three major focus points for achieving the overall goal: - Reducing the negative impacts of offsite discharge is fundamental to improving wastewater management. - Keeping a watchful eye on areas that could present significant issues if their standards deteriorate is important to prevent widespread and irreversible damage. - Mapping, monitoring, promoting higher standards, and applying and sharing new knowledge is the key to managing existing and future onsite wastewater systems in Greater Bendigo. The City of Greater Bendigo has dedicated the necessary budgetary assignments to support the permanent EFT Domestic Wastewater Planner position in implementation of the strategy, proposed monitoring activities, any necessary enforcement, review and audit of the strategy. Executive Summary – 5 Domestic Wastewater Management Strategy Managing wastewater on the land is a method employed Following a review of the original Greater Bendigo by more than 10,000 households in Greater Bendigo. Domestic Wastewater Management Plan in 2013, a new Where reticulated sewerage services are not available to Domestic Wastewater Management Strategy has been a household, an onsite wastewater management system produced.

Management Plan in 2006, yet time, experience and changes in trends resulted in the need to review the plan. 5. Maintain an ongoing process of implementation and evaluation of the domestic wastewater management strategy. These priorities reflect the new attitude applied to domestic wastewater management in Greater Bendigo with this strategy. The strategy sheds a light on wastewater management by exploring planning for growth, areas for improvement, areas for careful management, and better practice for better outcomes. Now, with a stronger focus on socially determined wastewater outcomes, and an approach of flexibility, sustainability and interminability, the strategy is presented to guide action in improving wastewater management in Greater Bendigo into the future.

  • Parish and Township Plan Numbers
    Parish and Township plan numbers This is a complete list of Victorian parishes and townships, together with plan numbers assigned by the Victorian Department of Crown Lands and Survey at some point between 1950 and 1970. The list has been reproduced from the Vicmap Reference Tables on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's land information website. Browse the list or use a keyword search to identify the plan number/s for a location. The plans are listed alphabetically. Townships and parishes are inter-sorted on the list. Some entries refer to locations within parishes or townships; these entries may be duplicated. The plan number can be used to locate copies of plans that PROV holds in the series VPRS 16171 Regional Land Office Plans Digitised Reference Set. For example, using the Search within a Series page on the PROV online catalogue with series number '16171' and the text '5030' will return the specific plans relating to the township of Ballarat. In this case, searching for 'Ballaarat' by name will return al the plans in the Ballarat land district, covering much of central and western Victoria. PROV does not hold copies of plans for the locations highlighted in pale yellow below. In most cases this is because parish-level plans were not created for areas such as national parks, where there were few land transactions to record. Plans showing these locations can be downloaded from the landata website under the section 'Central Plan Office Records'. 5001 Township of Aberfeldy 2016 Parish of Angora 2001 Parish of Acheron 2017
