The levels of volunteering are highest in the state and the percentage who use social networking is lowest. Unemployment is lowest of all the regions. Grampians scores around average on most health and wellbeing indicators. The percentage reporting poor dental health is the highest in the state and the percentage who meet fruit and vegetable intake guidelines is the lowest. 41% of persons aged 75+ live along, the highest level in the state. Unintentional and intentional injury rates are higher than average, as are avoidable deaths from cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases and all causes. The inpatient separation rate is around average but the average length of stay is longer than average; and the ACSC admission rate is the highest in the state. Emergency department presentation rates are above average and GP attendances are below average.

    4. Water resources Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning Part 4. Water resources This part outlines the key water resources and features in the Wimmera-Mallee Water Resource Plan’s surface water area: Wimmera-Avon, Avoca and Mallee, as well as the Wimmera-Mallee Water Resource Plan’s groundwater area resources. 4.1 Managing water resources: types of water resource supply systems Rivers in the Wimmera-Mallee water resource plan area vary from unregulated, like the Avon and Avoca rivers, to regulated like the Wimmera River. All rivers in the Wimmera-Mallee water resource plan area are undeclared. 4.1.1 Unregulated surface water systems An unregulated catchment is one that does not contain a storage such as a dam or weir, which significantly alters and regulates the flow of the river downstream. An unregulated catchment may contain rivers, creeks and small waterways, and in the case of several unregulated catchments in Victoria, can extend well over 1,000 km2 in area. Unregulated catchments are all undeclared which means that entitlements are bundled. Therefore, an entitlement includes rights to allow both the take and use of water. In unregulated catchments entitlements to water include take and use licences and bulk entitlements (see Chapter 6). All water taken for commercial or irrigation purposes from unregulated catchments must be licensed, including water taken from harvesting dams. The licences are called take and use licences or section 51 licences after the relevant section of the Victorian Water Act. The use of water, and trade of licences between users, is managed by Grampians Wimmera Mallee Water (GWMWater) in accordance with Ministerial trading rules (Minister for Water, 2014a).

  • Executive Summary Grampians and Barwon South West Region
    Grampians and Barwon South West Region Passenger Services Study – March 2017 Executive Summary This Study of the passenger service needs of the Grampians and Barwon South West regions was commissioned by eight local government councils in western Victoria, and covers the area from Ararat to the South Australian border and from Yarriambiack in the north to Glenelg Shire in the south. Councils asked the Study Team to investigate the extent to which existing passenger services – both train and coach – supported the social and economic requirements of this large and productive region, and whether the services currently provided and the infrastructure used could be improved. Councils wanted passenger services and infrastructure that would improve social and economic access and connectivity, reduce isolation, and enable the present and future residents of the region to easily connect with regional centres and Melbourne to meet social, economic, medical, educational and business needs through safe, efficient, frequent and reliable public transport. Central to this issue was whether train services could be reinstated to Horsham, Hamilton and other centres. The Report is based on extensive investigation, and many meetings with councillors, council officers, business leaders, educational and health services and residents in the region. The Study Team also reviewed social and economic statistics for the region in detail. It investigated rail and coach operational questions in fine detail. The work undertaken by the Study Team identified significant unmet needs for better public transport in the region. The Study found that residents, businesses, government agencies and local governments in the region were not being provided with fast public transport access to Ballarat and Melbourne.

Assessor's Summary of Significance: The Grampians National Park is a dramatic landform with sweeping western slopes, craggy eastern peaks and massive sandstone cliffs that contrast with surrounding plains; extensive forests interrupted by water bodies; and rock outcrops, deeply fissured cliffs and weather-sculpted sandstone. The powerful and unusual landscape represents the most important area for floristic richness and endemism in eastern inland Australia, and is important for species richness of freshwater and terrestrial invertebrates. There is an outstanding display of geological features at the Grampians, and archaeological evidence telling the story of indigenous occupation over the last 20,000 years. The park also contains the densest concentration of rock art paintings in Victoria and has the single largest assemblage of Aboriginal art motifs in Victoria. The Grampians is important as a defining image in Australia, that has inspired Australian artists in a range of media including painting (Arthur Streeton and Arthur Boyd), poetry, literature, photography and film.
