    Submission to Plan Melbourne Latrobe City Council Metropolitan Planning Strategy December 2013 Submission to Plan Melbourne – Metropolitan Planning Strategy December 2013 Submission to Plan Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Strategy December 2013 Introduction Latrobe City Council recognises and appreciates the integration of previous comments contained in its March 2013 submission to Melbourne – Let’s Talk about the Future. We again appreciate the opportunity to provide comment to Plan Melbourne – Metropolitan Planning Strategy (the Strategy). Latrobe Regional City is eastern Victoria’s employment hub and Gippsland’s regional capital. The City is currently going through a period of population growth with projections suggesting that the growth will continue in the longer term. In response to these population projections, the Minister for Planning has recently rezoned approximately 800 ha of residential land within the four main towns of Latrobe Regional City. The directions and initiatives set out in the Strategy will be instrumental in ensuring that Latrobe Regional City is acknowledged as being well placed to capture and provide liveable communities for the current and forecasted growth in both the economy and population in the Metropolitan area and Latrobe Regional City. In this context, Council strongly supports the vision of the Strategy , in particular the State of Cities model which will result in improved social, employment and infrastructure linkages between regional and metropolitan Victoria. We are pleased that the objectives of the Strategy align with those of our Council Plan 2013 – 17, including the provision of the best possible facilities, services, advocacy and leadership for Latrobe Regional City, one of Victoria’s four major regional cities.

  • The Gippsland Lakes: Management Challenges Posed by Long-Term Environmental Change
    CSIRO PUBLISHING Marine and Freshwater Research http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/MF14222 The Gippsland Lakes: management challenges posed by long-term environmental change Paul I. BoonA,C, Perran CookB and Ryan WoodlandB AInstitute for Sustainability and Innovation, Victoria University, Footscray Park, Vic. 8001, Australia. BWater Studies Centre, School of Chemistry, Monash University, Clayton, Vic. 3800, Australia. CCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. The Gippsland Lakes, listed under the Ramsar Convention in 1982, have undergone chronic salinisation since the cutting in 1889 of an artificial entrance to the ocean to improve navigational access, exacerbated in the mid–late 20th century by increasing regulation and extraction of water from inflowing rivers. Both developments have had substantial ecological impacts: a marked decline in the area of reed (Phragmites australis) beds; the loss of salt-intolerant submerged taxa such as Vallisneria australis, causing a shift to a phytoplankton-dominated system in Lake Wellington; and, nearer the entrance, an expansion in the area of seagrasses. Mangroves (Avicennia marina) first appeared in the late 1980s or early 1990s. Since 1986 recurring blooms of Nodularia spumigena have led to loss of recreational amenity and to the periodic closure of recreational and commercial fisheries. Changes to hydrological and salinity regimes have almost certainly shifted the contemporary fish community away from the pre-entrance state. Rises in eustatic sea levels and increases in storm surges will exacerbate the issue of chronic salinisation. Whether or not managers choose to intervene to prevent, or at least minimise, ongoing environmental change will inevitably prove controversial, and in some cases no socially or technologically feasible solutions may exist.

  • Seasonal Watering Plan 2018–19
    Seasonal Watering Plan 2018–19 Acknowledgement of Traditional Owners The VEWH proudly acknowledges Victoria’s Aboriginal community and their rich culture, and pays respect to their Elders past and present. The VEWH acknowledges Aboriginal people as Australia’s first peoples and as Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and water on which we rely. The VEWH recognises and value the ongoing contribution of Aboriginal people and communities to Victorian life and how this enriches us. The VEWH embraces the spirit of reconciliation, working towards equality of outcomes and ensuring an equal voice. For tens of thousands of years, Aboriginal people have occupied Australia. There have been very different clan and Nation boundaries to those that exist today, often embodying deep cultural relationships with the land and waterways. In this Seasonal Watering Plan, the VEWH has endeavoured, using the best available information, to name the Traditional Owner groups and their Nations that lived in the area we now call Victoria, and who continue to maintain and enhance long-standing culture and tradition. The groups and their association with particular areas are not definitive and the VEWH does not claim this information to be exact.

The message was loud and clear – water is critical – and in the face of climate change, population growth and increasing demand we need a plan.
