Should there be doubt in anyone’s mind why Yack is such a great place to live and work? We are blessed with wonderful, giving, talented people that help make Yack what it is.

  • Indigo Shire Council Submission on the Guide to the Basin Plan (The Guide)
    Indigo Shire Council Submission Guide to the Basin Plan (the Guide) Prepared by Mr Mark Florence General Manager Sustainable Communities Indigo Shire Council Introduction Indigo Shire Council is pleased to make a submission to the Murray Darling Basin Authority (MDBA), Senate Committee, and the House of Representatives Standing Committee Inquiry on the Draft Guide to the Basin Plan. The MDBA is commended on producing a comprehensive amount of material in a relatively short time. Indigo Shire Council recognises that the Murray Darling Basin is a key factor in Australia’s ecological health, containing some of the country’s most diverse and rich natural environments, a number with international significance. Council acknowledges that the current environmental health of the basin is poor, with 20 out of 23 catchments in the Basin in poor to very poor ecosystem health. Over-allocation of water across the Basin has been exacerbated by severe drought and the impacts of climate change, resulting in a marked decline in the ecological health of the Murray Darling Basin. The premise of the Basin Plan, to ensure the ongoing environmental health of the Murray Darling Basin, is supported in-principle. Indigo Shire Council recognises that the current situation is not acceptable and must be addressed. However, Council raises questions about how increased water for environmental flows will contribute to the improved health of the basin and the level of burden regional communities are willing to accept as an outcome of decreased water availability. Indigo Shire Indigo Shire offers a unique mix of attractive rural surroundings, welcoming towns and villages, impressive environmental qualities, four distinct seasons and a thriving diverse economy.
