    ALPINE PLANNING SCHEME 21.03 KEY PLANNING STRATEGIES 25/01/2007 C18 21.03-1 Principles 19/01/2006 VC37 “The fundamental principle guiding future land use planning for the Alpine Shire is that communities can only continue to survive and prosper if they can generate and retain wealth” (Alpine Shire Strategic Land Use Plan, April 1996). The future prosperity of the community is dependant on the effective management of land and the general principles to achieve this were outlined in the Alpine Shire Strategic Land Use Plan as: Maintaining prime agricultural land for future generations. Maximising economic prosperity in balance with minimum environmental degradation. Making the best use of existing development patterns and location of infrastructure. Minimising fossil fuel usage. The general strategic framework for the Shire is that “activity is principally based on the three major townships and the road links between them. These three major centres are then supported by a constellation of smaller settlements” (Alpine Shire Strategic Land Use Plan, April 1996). The Alpine Shire Strategic Land Use Plan outlines the following general strategies for the Shire: The natural environment and the juxtaposition of the components of the natural environment with agriculture, tourism, power generation and urban development is unique to the Alpine shire, its most valuable asset and hence must be recognised. High quality and productive agricultural land is to be protected from inappropriate development. New subdivision in rural areas will require lots to be a minimum of 40 ha in area. Areas subject to environmental constraints (such as flooding, erosion, mass movement, fire hazard etc.) are to be identified and protected from intensive development.

Food consumption and food access practices are embedded in everyday life and social relationships. This Food Access Guide is developed in partnership with Beechworth Health Service as part of the 2020 Local Food for Local People project. It aims to support a vibrant regional food system, where local people have access to fresh and healthy local food, profits stay in our local communities and community connections are nurtured. Food consumption and food access practices are embedded in everyday life and social relationships. Alpine communities offer many different stores selling fresh groceries, and the wider area abounds with local farms and producers of fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, cheese, nuts, honey, olives and olive oil. This guide also shares information about where to find local food relief as Covid-19 has both made it difficult for many people in our communities to make ends meet and disrupted social relationships. Food relief options include basic supplies, fresh produce, healthy ready-made meals & vouchers. We have aimed to include food retail outlets, markets, producers, community gardens & food shares as well as emergency food relief offerings in this guide. If we have missed you or a food or community offering that should be included, please let us know so we can update this booklet!

  • Autumn in Bright Trip
    5 DAYS 4 NIGHTS AUTUMN IN BRIGHT TRIP Day 1: Melbourne to Myrtleford Departing Melbourne at 7.00AM, we commence our spectacular 5-day scenic holiday in the Alpine Area of Bright country town renowned for its magnificent avenue of trees which are flaming red, golden and copper in autumn and is also the gateway to Victoria’s Snowfields. We shall stop for morning tea (included) at Euroa, followed by a stop at Milawa Brown Brothers for a Wine Tasting Tour around 12.00 pm including lunch (a seasonal 2-course meal with matching wines) at the restaurant Patricia’s Table. After lunch, we drive along the snow road and through the Ovens Valley. We stop to look at the Phoenix Tree, which was carved out of the trunk and roots of a huge River Red Gum. We then check into our motel and take some time to relax and explore the many facilities that are on offer and freshen up for a light dinner at a local restaurant. (Including Morning Tea, Wine Tasting, 2-course Lunch with wine & Dinner) Day 2: Mt Buffalo/Bright/Milawa After a hearty breakfast, we head off towards one of the Alpine Regions, Mt Buffalo. As we wind our way up the mountain and take it in the beautiful surroundings and its history. Once on top of the mountain, we will visit the “Grand Old Lady” - the Buffalo Chalet where we have our morning tea break. We then head towards Bright as we drive through the area and viewing those spectacular autumn leaves just before our lunch stop with enough time to explore the township of Bright.
