It supplements the departmental asset investment summary information contained in the 1998-99 Budget Paper No. 3 - Budget Estimates. Further details of specific projects can be obtained from the relevant department or agency listed in Appendix A. This document was previously known as Public Sector Capital Works. Consistent with the accrual-output basis of the 1998-99 Budget, the focus of this document has moved from capital works projects to include all fixed asset investments in the Public Sector. Coverage BIP1 lists major public sector investment projects by department or agency. Minor projects, for which the total estimated cost (TEC) is less than $100 000, and projects funded from ongoing annual grants or allocations are not included. The exclusion of these minor projects means that departmental asset investment totals in BIP1 may not reconcile to the aggregate Gross Fixed Asset Investment (GFAI) figures reported in the 1998-99 Budget Papers. Further, the 1998-99 estimated expenditure for projects included in BIP1 has in some cases been revised since inclusion in the 1998-99 Budget. These revisions to the 1998-99 cashflows and remaining expenditure totals have been caused by the impact of the actual expenditure up to 30 June 1998, which was not known at the time of the April Budget. Project listings are also provided for non-budget sector agencies however, only aggregate asset investment totals are included for corporatised Government Business Enterprises (GBEs). This is due to the competitive commercial status of these organisations. Information on specific infrastructure projects being undertaken by the private sector on behalf of, or under licence to, the Government is provided in Chapter 2. Public Sector Asset Investment Program 1998-99 1 The division of agencies and projects into budget, non-budget, and private sector is consistent with the classifications adopted for the 1998-99 Budget Papers. Classification of projects Projects listed for each department or agency are categorised as Existing Projects or New Projects for Commencement in 1998-99. Within these categories, details of project description and location, total estimated cost, expenditure to 30 June 1998, estimated expenditure in 1998-99, and estimated expenditure remaining to complete projects are included where applicable. Status of project estimates The published project details reflect the current intentions and priorities of agencies, including changes to project details approved since the publication of the 1998-99 Budget Papers. However, altered circumstances may require agencies to reschedule expenditure on approved projects during the course of the year. Location Each agency’s projects are generally listed alphabetically by project location. Projects with more than one location have multiple entries. In the case of Commonwealth and Better Roads Victoria funded projects, where many projects extend over several locations, they are listed alphabetically by project description. To assist with geographic information requirements, a full index of projects by location is provided in Appendix B. 2 Public Sector Asset Investment Program 1998-99 Chapter One: Victorian Public Sector Asset Investment Planning A major component of the Victorian Government’s long term economic strategy is ensuring that investment in the State’s infrastructure is sufficient to promote and support economic growth. To achieve this, annual budget sector infrastructure investment is maintained at around 1¼ per cent of Gross State Product. Investment in Victoria’s social and economic infrastructure is vital to the efficient delivery of public services as well as reducing costs to the private sector. This infrastructure, which includes roads, bridges, schools, and hospitals may be delivered directly by Government or by the private sector. Effective investment planning requires rigorous analysis of benefits and costs to ensure that projects represent value for money and do not impose onerous financial obligations on the community. Accordingly, investment planning and asset management in the Victorian public sector is guided by the following principles:

    Funding Information Tour for Artists and Communities Across the State

    MEDIA RELEASE Wednesday 24 April 2019 Funding information tour for artists and communities across the state Regional Arts Victoria, the Australia Council for the Arts and Creative Victoria, welcome Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) this year, adding an important regional voice to a funding information tour across the state from Monday 20 May – Friday 24 May. The information sessions welcome enquiry from regional artists and arts organisations about what opportunities most suit the needs of their creative practice. The tour is also reciprocal in creating the opportunity for federal and state funding bodies being available and accessible to regional and remote areas of the state. “There is no better way to understand the needs of the artists and arts organisations than being present in these areas,” says Liz Zito, Regional Arts Victoria’s Director of Partnerships. Delivered in four different locations of the state, this year’s tour aims to connect ‘remote artists’ with information and opportunities that are offered through the Regional Arts Fund, and other federal and state funding bodies. The four locations are Portland, Kaniva, Warracknabeal and Maryborough. Impacts from this type of tour are four-fold. The organisations and funding become more accessible to communities. There is greater connection within communities between the people interested in funding. Relationships between the four organisations are better developed and informed by community, and the collegiate support grows between the four touring organisations. Sharing funding information in this manner is a strategic and coordinated approach to meeting the needs of regional and remote Victoria. “The partnership continues to be very successful.” Partnerships Coordinator, Edwina Guinness has instigated the tour and leads the delegates from the other funding bodies on the road trip.

    Stretton Group Fire - Flood - Mud - Water Wednesday, May 28, 2008 Luncheon Seminar: 12 noon – 2:00pm Morgans at 401 401 Collins Street, Melbourne Following the 2003 fires which devastated about 2 million hectares of the Murray Darling Snowy River Catchments – the relationship between fire and water has never been more starkly demonstrated. In 2006/2007 fires in North-East Victoria and Gippsland created a similar catastrophe in another 1 million hectares of those water catchments. In the Macalister Valley, the Glenmaggie Weir filled rapidly with floodwater and debris. Licola and essential infrastructure was wiped out by flood and mud-slides. Floods were of huge proportions as a result of the rain falling on forested catchments which had been stripped bare of all protective vegetation by intense bushfires in December 2006. These floods washed millions of tonnes of topsoil into the Macalister River and its headwaters. The key policy question facing all urban populations, including the 4 million inhabitants of Melbourne, is what will happen to your water if the catchment is devastated by a hot intense bushfire, as was the case in Gippsland in 2006/2007. Speakers: Rob Gilder, Licola farmer (Gippsland) Professor David Dunkerley, Monash University, Landscape Water and Runoff 2 About the Stretton Group The Stretton Group is an apolitical, not-for-profit group established in December 2003 following the disastrous south east Australian bushfire crisis in 2002/3. The Stretton Group comprises a disparate association of volunteers who support the protection of the natural environment through greater transparency of the public sector processes involved. Named after the respected Royal Commissioner into 1939 Victorian Bushfires, Justice Leonard Stretton, the group proposes that government managed national parks and forests should be provided with a balance sheet value which encapsulates the environmental, cultural and economic value of these assets.

    SAVING WATER WITH TOTAL CHANNEL CONTROL® IN THE MACALISTER IRRIGATION DISTRICT, AUSTRALIA Paul Byrnes1 Tony Oakes2 ABSTRACT Southern Rural Water is undertaking a major automation project on the Main Northern Channel System in the Macalister Irrigation District, Victoria, Australia. The objectives of the project are to save water by reducing operational losses and to significantly improve customer service. The Victorian State Government is funding the project in exchange for the water savings, which they will use to increase environmental flows in the Macalister River. This paper predominantly looks at the water saving aspect of the project, and focuses on one spur channel, which has the most detailed measurement. Commencing in 2004, the first stage of the two-year project involved a trial of the automation technology (Total Channel Control®) and establishment of a water measurement network at a sub-system level. A water balance study supported the business case to progress to Stage 2 and provides a benchmark to verify the savings achieved by the project. The study’s water accounting framework identifies the main components of the water balance. The study provides an opportunity to improve the understanding on how channel losses can vary both spatially and throughout the irrigation season. INTRODUCTION The introduction of Total Channel Control® (TCC®) has revolutionised the operation of the Main Northern Channel system. Prior to this project the channel operation was typical of most earthen channel systems, with one main regulation per day on the main channel and its offtakes to spur channels. A combination of its slow responsiveness, poor measurement facilities, basic control functionality and focus on maintaining customer service levels led to a conservative manual operation regime, that in turn resulted in significant outfall losses.
