Council organisation led by General Manager Joseph Vescio, we are creating a more proactive local Council, stronger economy and an even better place to live for you and your family. Your Local Representative Committees Want to Hear From You Appointed members on Snowy Monaro Regional Council’s Local Representative Committees (LRCs) would like community groups to come directly to them if they wish to raise any local issues with Council. LRC members are in the process of being appointed as the Administrators delegates to community organisations so they can report back to Council on issues arising throughout the region. Importantly, groups who have never had contact with Council but would like to connect with Council through a LRC member are encouraged to make a request so this can be arranged. LRCs serve as an advisory arm to the new Council during the transition phase to inform Council of issues that affect the community, representing the interests of all residents, ratepayers and community groups across their Local Government Area on a wide range of local matters. While LRCs will not make formal decisions on Council matters, their advice and recommendations will play a large part in helping to set the direction and approach Council takes on important decisions. The contact information for all Local Representative Committees members is available on Council’s website or for more information phone our helpful customer service staff on 1300 345 345.

  • 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.

The purpose of the planning proposal is to amend Bombala Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2012 to permit the expansion of a water storage facility on the Bombala River. The scope of this planning proposal is to describe relevant attributes of the land and watercourse and to respond to matters for consideration outlined in A guide to preparing planning proposals issued by the Department of Planning & Environment in August 2016. Proposed development The settlement of Bombala is located 485km south of Sydney and 80km south of the town of Cooma.

It is proposed to expand this water storage facility by extending the impoundment for a length of approximately 2.7 to 2.8 kilometres from the existing impoundment of the Coolumbooka River into the Bombala River and extending to a new weir to be constructed between Caveat and Young Streets adjacent the town centre.

The workshop arose from a discussion between Max Brown, Ken McQueen and Ken Sharp during the IAVCEI field trip to the Monaro Volcanic Province in September 1993.
