Hello, I am writing to you in regards to the VNM WRP comprehensive report. (Draft for Comment) The section below is specific on Taungurung boundaries into the Ovens and King Rivers that are not final. I have concern that DEWLP by attempting to publish this is divisive and misleading. Will this boundary description be removed or amended? I understand our WRP (Dhudhuroa Waywurru Nations Aboriginal Corporation) are not favoured to include our boundary description in our WRP, can you clarify this please and provide a explanation? Please see below: 8.2.6.1 Introduction Taungurung have strong cultural, spiritual and economic connections to their land, water, and resources (Country). As custodians of their Country, Taungurung have managed their land and waters sustainably over thousands of generations. The process of dispossession has interfered with the connection between Taungurung and their Country, which is vital for the survival/ reintroduction of Taungurung culture and traditions. The connection to land, waters, and resources on Country is vital for Taungurung health and wellbeing. The Northern Victoria Water Resources Plan comprises the full extent of Taungurung Country. The main basins within Taungurung Country include Boregam (Campaspe River), Waring (Goulburn river), the Broken River, the King River, and the Ovens River. The waters of Waring have a special connection with Taungurung, including its tributaries the Yea river, Acheron River, King Parrot Creek, Rubicon river, Jamieson river, Howqua, and Delatite river. Kind Regards, Jida Gulpilil .

Goulburn River Boating Guide
GOULBURN RIVER BOATING GUIDE Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority has prepared the “Goulburn River Boating Guide” to help boaters safely enjoy this recreation venue. Funding to assist with the production of this guide has been made available by the State Government through a grant from the Boating Safety and Facilities Program administered by Marine Safety Victoria. THE WATERWAY Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority is the waterway manager appointed under the Marine Act 1988 for the Goulburn River between the Lake Eildon Pondage and Hughes Creek, excluding creeks and streams flowing into the river and storages. This represents a distance of approximately 165 km, much of it isolated. THE BOATING GUIDE Boat operators should recognise that water flow and depths vary during the year, often at very short notice. They should exercise care to ensure that they are operating in a safe fashion appropriate to their location and not adversely impacting on other water users and the environment. The guide is intended to provide information to raise the level of boating safety awareness before people venture onto the river to enjoy the boating experience. The Goulburn River offers a diverse boating and recreational activity environment that attracts people to enjoy fishing, canoeing/kayaking and rafting. The major source of water is Lake Eildon and these waters are used for irrigation in northern Victoria, with the balance flowing into the Murray River. The varying demand for irrigation is one of the reasons for periodic changes to the river that may impact on boating. The Statewide operating rules made under the provisions of the Marine Act 1988 apply to the whole of the Goulburn River between the Eildon Pondage and Hughes Creek (downstream from Seymour).

Digitally enhanced photograph of the Acheron Breakaway Bridge 26 June 2019 The Bridge: The Acheron Breakaway Bridge is a wooden bridge located at Acheron that spans the Goulburn River, Victoria’s longest and most significant irrigation river. The bridge is significant for being one of just a few working wooden trestle bridges left over the entire length of the Goulburn River. The bridge is a significant tourism attraction, as well as a highly prized bridge for fishing, photographers and as a location for wedding photographs to be taken. Page 4 HISTORIC FACTSHEET H ISTORY The Breakaway From as early as 1914, there were troubles with the Goulburn River breaching its banks and charting new paths between Thornton and Acheron during flood events. Further bank breaches occurred in 1915 and 1916, with works conducted by the Shire on numerous instances to mitigate further breaches while also working to return the river to its original source.

RFPG Submission to Murrindindi Shire Council Re Tourist Development
Rubicon Forest Protection Group Submission to Murrindindi Shire Council on the Draft 2019-20 Budget In June 2016 the Rubicon Forest Protection Group made a presentation to the then Murrindindi Council on the fate awaiting the Rubicon State Forest if logging continued as planned. Our submission pointed to the amazing tourist potential of the area and how this was being ruined by the scale of logging on top of the vast area of ash forest killed in the 2009 fire. Distressingly, logging has continued largely unabated. The Royston Range, Middle Range and Rubicon Valley are now effectively logged out severely compromising their tourism potential, yet VicForests propose even more coupes in these areas. However the main focus of logging has shifted eastward to the relatively lightly logged Torbreck Range, to the eastern side of the Snobs Creek Valley and southward to Cambarville. The prospect of widespread logging of these extraordinarily biodiverse and beautiful areas is utterly appalling. We again now urge Council to do more to help protect what is left of the over-logged forests in our Shire, by developing and promoting their extraordinary tourist potential. This includes pressing the State Government to do more to promote and protect the forest, and help our Shire build a tourism future involving its wonderful natural assets. In terms of pressing the State Government, we ask that as part of the tourism and events strategy which Council is developing (but about which we know little) provision is made in the 2019-20 Budget to establish a Murrindindi Forest Tourism Development and Promotion Committee (MFTDPC).
