Latrobe River Basin January 2014
Latrobe River Basin January 2014 Introduction Southern Rural Water is the water corporation responsible for administering and enforcing the Latrobe River Basin Local Management Plan. The purpose of the Latrobe River Basin Local Management Plan is to: • document the management objectives for the system • explain to licence holders (and the broader community) the specific management objectives and arrangements for their water resource and the rules that apply to them as users of that resource • clarify water sharing arrangements for all users and the environment, including environmental flow requirements • document any limits, including water use caps, permissible consumptive volumes or extraction limits that apply to the system. Management objectives The objective of the Local Management Plan is to ensure the equitable sharing of water between users and the environment and the long-term sustainability of the resource. Water system covered The Local Management Plan covers all the rivers and creeks located within the Latrobe River Basin, which includes: Upper Latrobe Catchment Narracan Creek Catchment Moe River Catchment Frenchmans Creek Narracan Creek Bear Creek Harolds Creek Little Narracan Creek Bull Swamp Creek Hemp Hills Creek Trimms Creek Crossover Creek Loch River Dead Horse Creek McKerlies Creek Morwell River Catchment Hazel Creek Sandy Creek Billy’s Creek Loch Creek Stony Creek Eel Hole Creek Moe Main Drain Torongo River Little Morwell River Moe River Upper Latrobe River Morwell River Mosquito Creek Latrobe River Catchment O’Grady Creek Red Hill Creek Tanjil River Sassafras Creek Sassafras Creek Latrobe River Silver Creek Settlers Creek Tyers River Ten Mile Creek Seymour Creek Jacobs Creek Walkley’s Creek Shady Creek Traralgon Creek Wilderness Creek Sunny Creek The Latrobe River Basin is shown in the map below. -
2012 Gippsland Flood Event - Review of Flood Warnings and Information Systems
2012 Gippsland Flood Event - Review of Flood Warnings and Information Systems TRIM ID: CD/12/522803 Date: 21 November 2012 Version: Final OFFICE of the EMERGENCY SERVICES COMMISSIONER Page i MINISTERIAL FOREWORD In early June this year, heavy rain and widespread flooding affected tens of thousands of Victorians across the central and eastern Gippsland region. The damage to towns and communities was widespread – particularly in the Latrobe City, Wellington and East Gippsland municipalities. Homes, properties and businesses were damaged, roads and bridges were closed, and more than 1500 farmers were impacted by the rains. A number of people were rescued after being trapped or stranded by the rising waters. Following the floods, some communities had a perception that telephone-based community warnings and information had failed them. As the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, I requested Victoria’s Emergency Services Commissioner to review the effectiveness, timeliness and relevance of the community information and warnings. This report has met my expectations and has identified the consequences and causes for the public’s perception. I welcome the review’s findings. I am confident these will, in time, lead to better and more effective arrangements for community information and warnings and contribute to a safer and more resilient Victoria.

West Gippsland Region
Powlett River. Courtesy WGCMA The West Gippsland region is diverse and characterised by areas of natural forest, West areas of high conservation value, fertile floodplains for agriculture, as well as having Gippsland major coal deposits and the Loy Yang, Hazelwood and Yallourn power stations. Region Three river basins form the region – Thomson (basin 25), Latrobe (basin 26) and South Gippsland (basin 27). West Gippsland Region In the north of the region is the Thomson basin, Hydrology characterised by the naturally forested Eastern Highlands. At the foot of the highlands are two major dams - Lake The hydrological condition of streams across the West Glenmaggie and the Thomson dam. Over half (55%) of Gippsland region reflects the varied land use - from natural the stream length in the Thomson basin was found to be and near natural flow regimes in headwater streams in in good or excellent condition. Of the remainder, 41% of forested areas of the region to flow regimes under immense stream length was in moderate condition and just 3% stress in areas dependent on water supply for domestic and 1% in poor and very poor condition respectively. and agricultural use. In the centre of the region is the Latrobe basin. The basin Thomson Dam provided 12,046 ML of environmental water features vast tracts of forest through the Strezlecki Ranges in 2011-12 for six reaches on the Thomson River (reaches and the Great Dividing Range, where streams rise and flow 1-5) and Rainbow Creek (reach 17) and Lake Glenmaggie to Lake Wellington in the east. Although much of the land provided 14,018 ML of environmental water to two reaches has been cleared for agriculture, the dominant land use is on the Macalister River (reaches 7 and 8). -
River Channel Relocation: Problems and Prospects
water Review River Channel Relocation: Problems and Prospects Alissa Flatley 1,* , Ian D Rutherfurd 1 and Ross Hardie 2 1 School of Geography, University of Melbourne, 221 Bouverie Street, Carlton, VIC 3053, Australia; [email protected] 2 Alluvium Consulting, Level 1, 105–115 Dover Street, Cremorne, VIC 3013, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: alissa.fl[email protected]; Tel.: +61-408-708-940 Received: 28 August 2018; Accepted: 26 September 2018; Published: 29 September 2018 Abstract: River relocation is the diversion of a river into an entirely new channel for part of their length (often called river diversions). Relocations have been common through history and have been carried out for a wide range of purposes, but most commonly to construct infrastructure and for mining. However, they have not been considered as a specific category of anthropogenic channel change. Relocated channels present a consistent set of physical and ecological challenges, often related to accelerated erosion and deposition. We present a new classification of river relocation, and present a series of case studies that highlight some of the key issues with river relocation construction and performance. Primary changes to the channel dimensions and materials, alongside changes to flow velocity or channel capacity, can lead to a consistent set of problems, and lead to further secondary and tertiary issues, such as heightened erosion or deposition, hanging tributaries, vegetation loss, water quality issues, and associated ecological impacts. Occasionally, relocated channels can suffer engineering failure, such as overtopping or complete channel collapse during floods. Older river relocation channels were constructed to minimise cost and carry large floods, and were straight and trapezoidal. -
Transforming and Redefining 'Natural' Resources in Australia's Latrobe Region
358 Australasian Journal of Regional Studies, Vol. 23, No. 3, 2017 WATER AND COAL – TRANSFORMING AND REDEFINING ‘NATURAL’ RESOURCES IN AUSTRALIA’S LATROBE REGION Jason Alexandra Researcher, Regional Futures Network and RMIT School of Global, Urban and Social Studies, Melbourne, Victoria 3001 Australia. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Victoria’s Latrobe Region is typically defined by its brown coal used for electricity production, but this focus obscures the complex histories and ecologies that underpin it. In this paper, assemblage theory is used to analyse the region’s transformations and the core role played by not just coal but water and climate in shaping the region. A century of state sponsored coal development has resulted in the region’s current economic reliance on fossil resources, but the recent closure of Hazelwood Power Station signals mounting pressures for decarbonising. In a climate of increasing constraints on coal use and uncertainties about water abundance, regional identities and resources are being redefined, highlighting the social co-construction of resources and regions. Analysis of the co-evolution and transformations of the region’s carbon, water and society assemblages supports the idea of new assemblages emerging with altered carbon-water dynamics. Keywords: regional transformations; water-coal relationships; Latrobe Valley; assemblage theory. 1. INTRODUCTION This paper explores the intimate and evolving relationships between water and carbon in Victoria’s Latrobe Region. Water and coal were critical to the first industrial revolution and will be to the next, but for fundamentally different reasons (Bryan et al., 2013). Water and coal have a long, intimate history. The exhaustion of shallow coal pits and the flooding of deeper pits in eighteenth century England drove invention of better pumps. -
