Authorised by the State Government of Victoria, 50 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne. Printed on sustainable paper by Impact Digital, Unit 3-4, 306 Albert St, Brunswick 3056 March 2011 (1101024) Foreword The provision of safe drinking water to Victoria’s urban and rural communities is essential for maintaining public health and wellbeing. In Victoria, drinking water quality is protected by legislation that recognises drinking water’s importance to the state’s ongoing social and economic wellbeing. The regulatory framework for Victoria’s drinking water is detailed in the Safe Drinking Water Act 2003 and the Safe Drinking Water Regulations 2005. The Act and Regulations provide a comprehensive framework based on a catchment-to-tap approach that actively safeguards the quality of drinking water throughout Victoria. The main objectives of this regulatory framework are to ensure that: • where water is supplied as drinking water, it is safe to drink • any water not intended to be drinking water cannot be mistaken for drinking water • water quality information is disclosed to consumers and open to public accountability.

  • Important Budj Bim Works Begin Across Five Sites
    Monday, 11 January 2021 IMPORTANT BUDJ BIM WORKS BEGIN ACROSS FIVE SITES Works have started across the Budj Bim Cultural Landscape, as part of the Andrews Labor Government’s support for the Gunditjmara Traditional Owners to protect and develop the land so more Victorians can celebrate its history and cultural significance. Minister for Regional Development Mary-Anne Thomas today visited the site in Victoria’s south west to inspect the progress of works, alongside the region’s Traditional Owners and representatives from Glenelg Shire Council. The Labor Government is investing over $12 million in the project, including $8 million through the Regional Tourism Infrastructure Fund, to improve the tourist infrastructure of the area. The Government investment also contributed to Budj Bim’s successful bid in 2019 to become a UNESCO World Heritage listed site. The works include a new eel aquaculture and information centre, art installations, new raised walkways, a new cantilevered lookout, an upgraded information centre, entrance infrastructure, carparks and interpretive signage. Construction has started on all five project sites within the cultural landscape, including Tyrendarra Township, Kurtonitj, Lake Condah, Tyrendarra Indigenous Protected Area and Budj Bim. Budj Bim hosts the remains of over 300 Aboriginal stone houses – evidence of the Gunditjmara People’s permanent settlement in the area, as well as a sophisticated system of channels, fish traps and weirs used for farming eels. It is the only Australian site to be listed on the UNESCO World Heritage list solely for its Aboriginal cultural values. The new works follow extensive consultation with Traditional Owners over the past 18 months.

    The Flag Stone Issue No. 45, May 2019 ISSN 2204-8316 Editor: Bruce Munday T Another milestone – by Jim Holdsworth (President DSWAA) Greetings This is my last contribution to ‘The Flag Stone’ as President. I assumed the role back in 2004 as the inaugural President following the Associa- tion’s first election of office bearers. The Association has, over those intervening years, transformed into an organisation which appears very different from the small group of people who made up the membership at that time; nearly all from Melbourne and western Victoria; and from the small scope of activities that we engaged in back then. As I reflect on my years as President I can’t help but appreciate that this evolution is due to the massive contributions of the many people who have served on the Committee and who have helped bring the Association to its current position as a cornerstone of the dry stone walls ‘land- scape’ in this country. Our history is told in the two or three field trips we have conducted each year, the many dinners and lunches we have enjoyed and the wide range of topics we have heard about from many speakers. This issue We have sponsored or supported numerous courses in dry stone walling. Budj Bim Our website is an effective ‘front door’ of the Association. It generates a steady Certification for pro stream of enquiries and new members, and presents a lively variety of news and information. wallers Our formal status and our incorporation under Consumer Affairs Victoria has Walling under sun been tidied up and confirmed.
