Aboriginal water values and uses The Murray-Darling Basin Plan requires Basin states to identify objectives and outcomes of water, based on Aboriginal values and uses of water, and have regard to the views of Traditional Owners on matters identified by the Basin Plan. Victoria engaged with Traditional Owner groups in the Water Resource Plan for the northern Victoria area to: • outline the purpose, scope and opportunity for providing water to meet Traditional Owner water objectives and outcomes through the Murray-Darling Basin Plan • define the role of the water resource plans in the Basin, including but not limited to the requirements of the Basin Plan (Chapter 10, Part 14) • provide the timeline for the development and accreditation of the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan • determine each Traditional Owner group’s preferred means of engagement and involvement in the development of the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan • continue to liaise and collaborate with Traditional Owner groups to integrate specific concerns and opportunities regarding the water planning and management framework. • identify Aboriginal water objectives for each Traditional Owner group, and desired outcomes The Water Resource Plan for the Northern Victoria water resource plan area, the Victorian Murray water resource plan area and the Goulburn-Murray water resource plan area is formally titled Victoria’s North and Murray Water Resource Plan for the purposes of accreditation. When engaging with Traditional Owners this plan has been referred to as the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan and is so called in Chapter 8 of the Comprehensive Report.

  • Nyah to Border Community Profile (Including Sunraysia, Victoria and NSW)
    Nyah to Border community profile (including Sunraysia, Victoria and NSW) Irrigation region Key issues for the region 1. Region’s population — The population of the Nyah to Border region is approximately 60,000, including 3,500 farm businesses. 2. Gross value of irrigated agricultural production (GVIAP) • The drought affected gross value of irrigated agricultural production was an estimated $600 million for 2008-09i. The non drought gross value of irrigated agricultural production, based on the existing area, is estimated to be $800 millionii. 3. Water entitlements (approximate) • Surface Water Long-term Cap -700 GL. • Victorian high reliability water shares 481 GL NSW High Security - 190 GLiii , NSW General security — 75 GLiv • Groundwater entitlements - negligible. 4. Major enterprises –Major enterprises for the Nyah to Border region include wine grapes, citrus, table grapes, almonds, dried fruit, and vegetables. 5. Government buyback- The Commonwealth Government buyback cannot be separated out for the Nyah to Border region as it is part of greater Murray valley buyback program. 6. Water dependence — Very high capital investment on-farm and off-farm makes the regional economy highly water dependent. 7. Current status • Nyah to Border’s regional economy of around $3 billionv has a high dependence on irrigation, with wineries, packing sheds and other food processing reliant on a consistent supply of irrigated crops. Around 25% of employment is associated with irrigated horticulture and associated manufacturing. • There is a high population of 60,000 people including 3,500 growers, 65% of whom farm 26% of the irrigation area on small farms in community districts. These districts were established as Government irrigation schemes from 1887 to 1947.
